  On the down side I have never found a lottery software program any
  good at prediction.  And believe me I have a lot of lottery software on
  my computer. 
  
  Lottery software does not train the brain, only pencil and paper can

  The lottery software I use, only creates abbreviated wheels and then filters the numbers based on total sums, max numbers in a row (15,16,17 etc.), how many odd/even numbers in a row (7,9,11/2,4,6 etc.) and so on. It does not do statistics.
  
  
  Then I save the created lines to the hdd and finally send them via internet to the lottery company. Won a 4 number and a 3 number prize this week using this method. About 82 dollar. Saves a lot of time using spreadsheets and lottery software. I probably use only 10-15 minutes figuring out the numbers and sending my lotto bets. The time saved I can use on figuring out how to improve the stats and my predictions.

  Well said BobP.

  Lottery Lore says "A past draw is the centerpoint of a circle - a black hole. Two overlapping circles whose centerpoints sit on the circumference of the other share a Common Radius. This Radius is a wormhole - it allows both draws (info) to safely travel into and beyond the other draw's event horizon without negative distortion, thereby creating an entanglement (synchrony) between the two communicating draws. This entangled space is the Vesica Piscis - the white hole or Stargate through which the next draw is born."

   There's an advantage to coding an ideas that you've tried using paper and pencil and liked, you can change the variables and test it many different ways in a short period of time.
