This is about how to create and maintain a Mega Millions history or results file (drawings) in the Mega Millions lotto game (currently 5 of 56 + 1 of 46). The results file of past winning numbers was created from the start of this Mega Millions game format through the date specified above the results file. The history file is in LotWon format — ready to use by MDIEditor and Lotto WE and other LotWon programs (lottery, lotto software created by Ion Saliu, the most astonishingly creative and generous computer programmer at-large). All LotWon data files must be in text format, that is, the simplest form of a file: No codes at all. Usually, this type of files has a .txt extension. You don't need to add any extension to the file name of your Mega Millions results file.
• Do NOT mix different game formats in the same results file! Start a new data file if the game format changes (e.g. from 5/53/40, or from 5/49/42, etc.) There are useful links at the bottom of this page regarding data (results) files and strategies.

Let other lottery commissions know about sanity in data presentation. If they are sane, then most of them must be downright malicious. They intentionally present the results in the least usable or the most impossible formats. They mix words, numbers, dates, greetings, commas, percentage signs, dots, asterisks, CHR(249), @, +,-,…,everything inseparable and mixed-up like in case histories for psychiatrists.
Just copy and paste the lines containing the Mega Millions results to a new text file (in MDIEditor and Lotto WE, or PSPad, or QEdit, or another text editor). I know for a fact that Ion Saliu frequently uses a great 16-bit DOS application: QEdit (or the Q editor). Name your results file, for example, Mball or Data56. Ion Saliu's file names: PaPB-55 for the Powerball results file and Papb.txt for the temporary file that holds the latest Mega Millions drawings obtained from the Internet (copied and pasted in a word processor, like WordPerfect, or even WinWord).
Be sure to copy only the lines with the results as printed here. Do not leave any empty lines in your results file. The oldest drawing is the last line in the drawings file. The most recent (latest) draw always goes to the top of your data file for the Mega Millions game or any other lottery game.
When updating the Mega Millions results (history) file, copy and paste only the top line(s) not present in your file. You can also type the results, but be sure to follow the same format. The format is five regular Mega Millions numbers, in ascending order, separated by one or more blank spaces (comma is also acceptable). The sixth number in every line represents the Mega Ball (the yellow ball, as they show on TV). The file abiding by this format works wonders with MDIEditor and Lotto WE and the two programs presented below.
Extraordinarily powerful software creates Mega Millions and lotto systems and reports the statistical frequency: SkipSystem.EXE. The free software shows the regular Mega Millions numbers and the Mega Millionss sorted by frequency with their respective number of hits (plus percentages).
Another piece of great software is SUMS.EXE. The program shows the sums (sum-totals) of every Mega Millions drawing, plus root sum (Fadic addition), average, standard deviation, average deviation, and average deltas.
The two powerful and fast programs cover a multitude of lotto and lottery games, plus horseracing. Get the freeware now from the greatest downloads site, software category: 5.1 or 5.2. The link is in the footer of this incredibly useful page.
