Before all you ranters go on about the worthlessness of this software, let me say this: there ARE people who study lottery numbers and their skews. Yes, there ARE skews in lottery numbers that DO show over time. Why? Physical properties in the balls - including microscopic size and weight differences, paint thickness, shape abnormalities - over time these skews show up. Some numbers are "hot" numbers", and others are "cold". As well, there are time factors that people study - for instance when a "hot" number doesn't show for a long time, perhaps it's due? People "wheel" these numbers for their picks. This is not to say that one has any REAL chance of winning the lottery; the chances are infinitesimally small. But, it's a statistical analysis that makes lottery playing more fun for people that follow these skews. The developer seems to be putting together a nice bit of software that allows people to graph these trends, etc. That's all. The price may be a little steep, since it's only v.1.0, but it's work and there are NOT alot of Mac alternatives out there. So read about lottery numbers, skews, and wheels before simply ranting about this software. Maybe you'll try it and have more fun next time you drop a buck on a ticket.

There are no skews, this is all sheer nonsense. Paint on the balls? Give us a break, they're made of plastic and glass! At any point there are sure to be some numbers that have come up more often than others, but all such "skews" wash out over time and are replaced by other numbers. They tell you nothing but that the laws of probability are working as expected.The ONLY way to increase your odds of one day winning is to play more games more often - if you live to be at least 100,000 (a million would be even better) you then stand a good chance of winning the big one at least once (by then of course you've spent more than the prize is worth...). But if you are only good for 70-80 yrs it'll make no significant difference to your chances.
