ECHO We play the lottery but we do not suggest that other people should.
echo We find the lottery to be entertaining and an easy way to pay more taxes.
echo We do not play the lottery to provide for our future nor do we use funds
echo needed to run our household.
echo ------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo The best way to play the lottery and a good way to avoid buying more
echo and more tickets each week is to get into local group play. Playing with
echo friends, that you have written agreements with, and a set amount of money
echo to invest each draw, will reduce the odds against you considerably.
echo ------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo We reject the advertising techniques of certain other lottery programs
echo that guarantee you will win if you use their system. It is false and
echo misleading and also provides an excuse for individuals to spend money they
echo cannot afford under the misconception that it's only a matter of time.
echo ------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo LOTTO PROPHET does  promise to provide you with the most advanced 
echo algorithms available today. We can manipulate, evaluate, select, 
echo store, check and wheel your numbers as no other lottery program can 
echo and if a pattern exists that will help select the winning numbers you
echo will find it here first.
echo If there are any other new routines we can add to our programs that 
echo would help you make better number selections please let us know.

echo In the Enhanced version if you will put in the number of winners for each
echo drawing, Lottokey can tell you scientifically which numbers and number
echo combinations to use to get the best payoff when and if you do win.

ECHO   Although DataMicro does market a Enhanced registered version of
ECHO   LOTTO PROPHET, this shareware is more complete and provides more
ECHO   capability than most any of the commercial programs. if you like
ECHO   this software, you would love the Enhanced version as it, by most
ECHO   any standard, has to be the biggest and most powerful lottery
ECHO   software on the market today - at any price.
