History

V1.0 (25 November 1998)

V1.1 (15 December 1998)

Data values are now stored in standard MFC serialized files. This means that you can have multiple files setup for different syndicates / months etc.
A member can now be temporally disabled. This saves you having to delete a member and then recreate them.
List view style is now preserved in the serialized file.

V1.11 (12 June 2002)

Updated the UI to use full row select to make it easier to look at syndicate member's numbers.
Also added grid lines to again make it easier on the eye.

V1.12 (26 October 2002)

Updated the program to alllow it to pull the Lotto results automatically from the Lotto Web Site. Thanks to Damien Carbery for the suggestion.
Download now includes the source code for LottoMan.

3 September 2003

Having just purchased a Pocket PC from Dell, I though this project was the ideal code to get me started writing for CE. You can download the port from www.naughter.com/download/lottomance.zip. This is a Pocket PC 2003 Embedded C++ 4 port of the code and an ARM release image executable which you can run straight away.

V1.13 (22 June 2005)

Updated app to now work again with pulling down results from the irish lotto web site
General code tidy up.
Inclusion of an XP manifest in the exe.
Now uses v1.20 of my CHttpDownloadDlg class.
Now supports any general lottory draws which picks up to 6 numbers plus a bonus number from a selection. A new UI entry called "Lotto Settings" allow you to specify these settings. Thanks to Brian Fearon for prompting this update.
The types of matches e.g. "Match 3 + Bonus, Match 6 etc" which are checked can now be configured. This allows more flexibility in Lotteries which have different winning prize levels.

Installation Requirements

The program is for Win32 only (or Pocket PC version if you downloaded the port).
If you haven't already got the MFC DLL’s on your machine (MFC42.DLL in your Windows system directory), then grab them from http://www.naughter.com/download/vcredist.exe.

Usage

Just run the lottoMan.exe.
Use the wizard to set up the members of the syndicate and their numbers. Each user must be assigned a fixed set of numbers.
Use the File -> Check Results option to see if you have won. It's as simple as that.
As of v1.13 LottoMan can now also be used for lotteries other than the Irish National lottery. Just use the "Draw Settings" icon to configure the draw settings.
Once you have your syndicate setup all you need to do is double click on your ltm file in the shell and LottoMan will automatically start and load up the specified file.
