Quick Tutorial
Using the basic functionality of Lotto Sorcerer is an easy process, with three steps:
- Setup a lottery
- Enter numbers previously drawn (manually, through importing or online updating)
- Have Lotto Sorcerer generate suggested numbers to play
Step One of Three: Setup a Lottery
You need to setup at least one lottery by using the Lottery Setup Wizard. Do this from the Main Window. Choose the menu item "Lottery Structure > Lottery Setup Wizard". The Lottery Setup Wizard will appear:
Next, choose your locale...
...then choose your lottery...
...then click the "Yes" button:
Note: If your lottery is not shown in the list, click the "Refresh" button in the Lottery Setup Wizard to see if your lottery has been added since the last release of Lotto Sorcerer. If your lottery is still not showing up, then you may be able to set it up as a "custom" lottery by clicking the "No" button. Click here for a tutorial.
You will be shown a summary of the lottery. Verify the shown settings, and click the "Create" button if the settings are correct, or the "Back" button to make corrections.
Step Two of Three: Enter, Import, Scrape or Update Online Previously Drawn Numbers
It is important that your lottery be kept up-to-date with prior lottery draws. There are four ways to do this:
- Use our optional Lottery Data Service and update supported lotteries with just one click. To start a subscription, use menu item "Lottery Data > Lottery Data Subscription > Start Subscription".
- Import lottery data from your lottery by using menu item "Lottery Data > Import Lottery Data".
- Scrape the drawing data from a web page.
- Enter the past drawings manually.
