Stock market investing companies around the world have spent billions of dollars on software that analyzes the OHLC of all stocks available for sale. Before, during, and after each trading day, traders use that software to analyze every bit of data in order to make good decisions for the next day. For these Wall Street firms, security to protect their huge software investment is paramount. Why? If everyone had access to your software, they would have no advantage.

So what do they do with their software? They analyze what has happened in the past to help them predict what will happen in the future. A good lottery software program analyzes previous lottery winning numbers to help the player make better selections in the next draw.

So what does horse racing have to do with the lottery? To Lot! It’s called handicap. Before a race, the starting odds for the race appear on the TOTE board for all to see.

Now, I could go on and on. There is no shortage of examples I could use to drive home my point. But, there is a caveat to this discussion that I must address.

buyer beware

The software you purchase should be a high quality lottery software program. You see, unfortunately, there are a lot of bad apples in the lottery software business. If you do an internet search for lottery software, you won’t find a limit to the number of vendors that sell their products. To be honest, most of it is junk, garbage, garbage, and a total waste of money. This is why most serious lottery players end up buying several software products before finding one that is worth their while. In fact, a recent survey asked this question: ‘How many lottery software programs do you own?’ The average of all responses was 4. That means the most serious lottery players wasted their time and money on 4 other products before they found the one they liked.

Therefore, if you are looking for a lottery software program, be very careful. There are only about 3 or 4 decent products on the market. Buying a quality lottery software program will save you time, money, and frustration in the end.
