Dowat (pronounced "Do what?") is a DOS program or software that will predict random numbers. It has been implemented to pick some of the popular Lotto games. It is Shareware or "try before you buy" software and it costs six dollars(US). It has been tested against several of the commercial Lotto programs and it has done better at picking the numbers. The author would be interested in any information that would improve Dowat. Also, any Web designers or Windows programmers that would like to turn Dowat into a commercial venture would be welcome. Please contact the author.
Any Microsoft Operating System including Vista (64 Bit requires DOSBOX or better yet, Virtual 32 bit XP).

I began working on random numbers in the 1980's. First, I became interested in Fractals and, in particular, the Sierpinski Gasket. I imagined that the ancient Egyptians must have somehow discerned the Sierpinski Gasket in designing and building their pyramids. I then noticed the similarity between the pyramids and the Normal Curve. All objects if dropped randomly will form the shape of the normal curve and random numbers can be computed to form a Sierpinski Gasket every time no matter what numbers they are as long as they are random. Could it be that all things are nothing more than randomness forming Fractals? The Grateful Dead wrote a song in 1970 called "Box of Rain" that seemed to musically ask that question. I became dissolutioned with the random number "lists" that were available on computers and studied several calculations for creating random numbers. Most notably, there was a calculation by John von Neumann. I eventually invented my own calculation for randomness. Now suppose we take a step back and question whether randomness, itself, is the result of some cosmic calculation that began with the Big Bang. I believe that before the Big Bang there was no randomness and the randomness that we observe today is the result of dividing the Unified Field. Having said all that, Dowat is an attempt on my part to recreate the calculation that creates randomness by discerning it from the previous numbers.

These are some of the commercial programs that I tested against Lotto Dowat. They all did much more poorly than Lotto Dowat did on picking the numbers. The programs that did the best are listed first. These programs were picked because they can do all of the games (3,4,5,6).
Lotto Sorcerer - This program has the same slick data entry as Lotto Pro but you have to pay for the data. The picks were as good as the lot and the reports and graphs made sense to me. There is a cool SQL data base of the previous draws.
Lotto Buster - This one makes a lot of cool sounds. The data entry is a little trying and it's picks are about average.
Lotto Pro - This is the most popular Lotto program on the Internet. I found the reports and the graphs hard to understand and it's picks were the poorest of all the programs I tested. The data entry is rather slick and the Data is free.
Lotto Whiz - Basically, an analysis tool with alot of graphs that I don't understand. Picks don't seem to come from any selection method.
