Lotto Sorcerer is able to recommend maximum 25 lines to play.

On the testimonial page for Lotto Sorcerer a lot of people report success when playing 20 recommended lines. Many of them has been able to get 4 out of 6 several times in a row if those testimonials are to be trusted.

The reason for only playing 10 recommended lines in the test is to be able to compare the results with the typical 10 lines quick pick slip which is sold in Norway. If you ask for a quick pick in the Norwegian lottery and the Scandinavian VikingLotto you automatically gets 10 lines of quick picks.

The winning numbers for wednesday's(Januar 19th) Viking Lotto:
03-04-07-32-36-45. Bonus numbers: 5-30

One unique line:
05-16-21-22-27-44 B1:31 B2:18

Zero numbers correct.

05-07-35-36-37-46 B1:45 B2:32 (2/6+1 bonus number)

05-16-19-22-26-45 B1:31 B2:16 (1/6+1 bonus number)

2 out of 6 plus 1 bonus number is the best this week.
This time only 3 unique numbers found in the recommended lines.

The reason I asks LS for one line predictions is to see if it's possible to use it to play several lines with the same numbers. IF Lotto Sorcerer was capable of coming up with 3 if 6 in the one line predictions once in a while(like Guru's Lottosynchronizer 1.8 is supposed to do) it would have been great, but so far I can say it stinks.

Better results next week? Hope so...

As usual only the 6 first numbers in each line was played.
The draw will be published in 2-3 hours.

No lines with more than 1 number correct!
But it's still too early to judge the software. It will be tested for several weeks.

Something positive in the misery:
5 out of 6 drawn numbers was to be found in the recommended lines.
Too bad LS didn't create at least one line with 3 out of 6 numbers drawn. If I had played 20 recommended lines perhaps it might have occurred, but that's just a guess.
If LS is able to come up with 5 or 6 numbers(in the recommended lines) drawn consistently it could be wiser to use them in a wheel instead.

The draws can be found here: http://www.norsk-tipping.no/page?id=27. 
The Lykketall(happy number) listed has been drawn by a computer. Every time a happy number is equal to a number in the REAL draw, the first prize will be bigger than normal. This time the first prize was highest ever at aprox. $ 6.000.000.

I chose to stay an optimist .
Better luck(?) next wednesday?

1st week of 2005

The first weekly test of Lotto Sorcerer has started.
I registered into LS all lotto draws in Viking Lotto since beginning of december 2003.

I "asked" LS for one unique line, and then 10 recommended lines.
One unique line:
02-16-17-35-39-42 B1:48 B2:20

10 recommended lines:
02-12-16-26-39-48 B1:23 B2:39
03-06-21-30-40-47 B1:32 B2:43
03-09-15-18-19-31 B1:40 B2:36

Viking Lotto:
Is a 6/48 lottery with 2 bonus numbers. Allmost all scandinavian countries are participants.

The prize list:
6/6 : 1st prize. Aprox. prize: $ 3-400.000 - $ 6-7.000.000 (Dollar value Norwegian KR 6,00)
5+1/6 : second prize. Aprox. prize: $ 10.000 - $ 30.000
5/6 : 3rd prize. Aprox. prize: $ 1.000 - 2.000
4/6 : 4th prize. Aprox. prize. $ 50,00 - 60,00
3/6 : 5th prize. Aprox. prize. $ 6,00 - 7,00.

I only played the real numbers, not the bonus numbers.
If I incorporated all the suggested numbers in to a wheel I could have included the bonus numbers as well. But I will only play the suggested lines.
I would have prefered that LS had just listed the numbers recommended and not lines. That would have made it easier to incorporate them into wheels.
Some comments on LS on this forum is not optimistic to say the least.
I'm not shure what to expect. But I am not expecting large wins if any at all.

There's still a few hours until the draw will be published.
