Correct the data, then click the Enter Numbers button, or you can delete the data by clicking the Delete Record button.

Window Controls

Lottery grid

Located at the top of the window, this grid shows all of the numbers that you have entered for this drawing (up to the maximum required for data analysis. Drawings are shown with the newest drawings at the top of the grid.

You can also click on a row in this grid for editing or deleting data. When you do so, the date and numbers drawn fields will be populated; from there you can edit the data and click the Enter Numbers button, or delete the entire row by click the Delete Record button.

Date field

Use this field for entering the date of the drawing. Note that you cannot type in this field directly; to enter a date, click on the date on the Calendar, which is right below this field.

Also note that you can only select a date on which the lottery has a drawing. For example, if the lottery only has drawings on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the other days of the week will be disabled ("grayed out") in the Calendar, so that you cannot accidentally select it.

Numbers Picked field

Enter the numbers picked in these fields. Tip: for numbers less than ten, precede each number with a zero (for example, enter "7" as "07"), so that the text cursor automatically moves to the next field.

Calendar

Use this calendar to pick the day of the drawing. Use the month and year pull down to select the month and year, then click on the day of that month. If the day is grayed out, that is because that lottery does not have a drawing on that day. There are also small arrows to the immediate right of the calendar that let you increment and decrement the calendar, month by month.

Clear Numbers button

Click this button to clear the buttons in the numbers drawn text boxes. This button is automatically disabled if there is nothing in the text boxes.

Delete Record button

Click this button to delete a record that already exists in the database. If it is disabled, that is because you have not selected a record from the database yet. Find the record in the grid, at the top of the window, and click on the row. The Delete Record button will become enabled.

Enter Numbers button

Click this to enter the data that you have typed into the database. You should then see it appear in the grid at the top of the window. If this button is disabled, that means that you have not filled out the date or all of the numbers drawn.

Tip: If you are entering a large number of previous draws into the database, you should start with the earliest date first. After you enter the first drawing, the date field is automatically populated with then next drawing date.
