My Story...
Back in the very early 80's, when the Michigan Lottery first got
started, a friend of mine who knew I was a whiz with a computer (still
a rarity back then) challenged me to find a way to beat the Lottery.
I took on that challenge, and did some research. The lottery program
I wrote, for the old Commodore 64, was called "Lottocalc",
and it was based on most of the same information you see here. The very
first lottery number generated by Lottocalc won $50 for my friend, and
he was hooked!
That program must still be floating around somewhere, though you
probably won't find it now. The name "Lottocalc" is now being
used by another lotto program (that I have nothing to do with.)
Why didn't I stick with my version of Lottocalc? Well, I got sidetracked
by the stock market... I wrote a program to beat that, too, called "SnapStock".
(Thanks in part to SnapStock, I now have plenty of time to write web
pages.)
My background, actually, is in television engineering. In fact,
I worked for several years at one of the TV stations where lottery numbers
were picked. Because of this, I wasn't allowed to play, but I spent
quite some time contemplating the lottery machine, which was in the
room right next to where I worked...
