A:The program was originally distributed as FREEWARE. This meant that it was free to use.
It has however developed into a 'commercial' product over time. It became difficult to maintain
two versions of the program, and it was merged into one program from version 2.0 onwards. The FREE part is
still available in Version 2.1 ie the number generation part. All the functions are however not available
until you 'Register' the program by purchasing it. The menu options not available will be available once you Register.
A:As explained above, the FREEWARE program is now part of version 2.1 ie number generation.
A:Your Regional setting is incorrect. Change the country settings in the Control Panel under
Regional Settings.
A:The same button that starts the spinnig will stop the spinning. The text changes on the button to 'Stop Spin Mode'.
A:The spinning option continuously shuffles the numbers from 1 to 49 without
reloading them in sequence. The first 6 numbers are displayed and I do not influence the
ranges. I have tested the randomness by entering one of the winning number combinations
and letting the program spin until it draws all 6 the numbers. The first time it took +-
36 hours to do this and the second time only +-29000 spins. I am comfortable with the
randomness of the draw. I will be adding more features to change so that the selection
will suite individual needs.
A:Not at the moment. I will change it or even better, let it print on the actual ticket.
A:Yes - The Registered version can up to a point (7 to 13 numbers).
A:Yes I do! I usually have 3 or 4 boards with my fixed 'lucky' numbers I play every week. I then
use the generator to fill in a couple of boards to increase my chances.
A:It is for not for sale until further notice.
