The downloading is easy (if you are a registered member), but the installation might be a little tricky. The INSTALL.BAT file was designed for Windows 95/98. The best method is to go to the command prompt (Win 2000 and later). Create a directory (folder); e.g. C:\BRIGHT4. You can do that in Windows Explorer as well. Download BRIGHT4.EXE to C:\BRIGHT4. Click on BRIGHT4.EXE to decompress the file automatically. Read the README.TXT file. For the best results, work at the command prompt in C:\BRIGHT4. Type 4 to start. You might want to preserve your less potent Pick432.EXE installation.

Start by creating a pick-4 data file (name it something like DATA-4). My lottery software requires that the data (results) files for the pick-4 lottery game have exactly 4 digits on each line; the lottery digits are separated by blank space(s) or commas.

The programs in BRIGHT4.EXE require pick4 data files of at least 600,000 (six hundred thousand) lines. Of course, you don't have that many real drawings in a 4-digit lotto game! So, you create an additional file of randomly generated lotto-4 combinations. The additional file is usually named SIM-4 and is created in seconds by the 'Utilities' function (application name: Util432.EXE). The 'Utilities' function also creates the D4 file: The final file used by the report generator and the pick-4 lottery combination generators.

Next, you need create the reports: The W4 + MD4 files. Function name: 'Generate W4 Reports' (press function key F5). You analyze the W4 reports in order to establish filters for future drawings. This represents the biggest headache for yours truly. People want gazillions of details on how to pick the filters (creating the strategies). I would need to live one hundred lives to satisfy just one user of my lottery software! I can only advise: READ, READ, AND THEN READ SOME MORE! There is a lot of information right here, at this website. A very good starting point:

• Please keep this truth in mind. The software cannot pick lottery strategies automatically. Only a human mind can pick strategies based on Ion Saliu's probability theories. No computer programmer can write software to automate the task of automatically picking the most-likely- to-hit lottery strategies. It can be done, but not now.

The PCs are not up-to-the-task right now. Also importantly, if such software were available, the lotteries would cease to exist. A large number of lottery players would use such software and would be frequent winners. Alas! The prizes would be miserable! I would have never — ever — released such software to the public. Not even after I would have won lots and lots of money in lottery prizes. I would have destroyed the lotteries around the world. The lottery represents a truthfully reasonable hope for humans everywhere.

Somehow I created problems for casino gamblers and myself. I presented an idea regarding the Birthday Paradox and roulette. Many casinos now turn off the marquees (the electronic displays at roulette tables) because of that gambling system with a solid mathematical foundation. Also, the casinos started to treat badly the gamblers who write various results in simple notebooks (paper, not computers). They dealt me a below-the-belt blow because of that innocent paper notebook!

When you came up with a strategy (a group of filter settings), you can check how that particular strategy fared in the past. That is, you can see how many times the strategy had hit in previous lottery drawings. Your strategy checking is more successful if you generate the W4 reports for 1000 pick-4 drawings. Press the F3 function key to run the 'Strategy Checking' function.

You use the strategy to generate pick 4 combinations. You can generate combinations even without checking for strategies first. You just type the filter values at the screen prompts. The function keys F6 and F7 start the combination generators. The first one generates combinations in lexicographical order. The F7 key generates pick 4 lottery combinations in optimized random order.

The combination generators have a multitude of functions:
~ purge lottery combinations from an output file (previously generated lotto combinations);
~ generate pick-4 combinations based on favorite digits;
~ the user can enable or disable the new type of inner filters.

The 'Check strategy hits' (F4) is a great application. It will tell you how many combinations a particular lottery strategy would have generated in situations of past hits.

The following is the right sequence in order to check the strategies and strategy hits.

1) You generate first the W4 and MD4 reports (function key F5);
2) Next, check for a strategy (function key F3); it creates very important files (ST4.000, ST4.HIT and ST4.REP);
3) Then, run 'Strategy hits' (function key F4) for the files created at step 2. The procedure also updates ST4.REP (open it and look for the info at the bottom of the report).

In order to achieve accuracy, you must use the same D4 file, the same W4 and MD4 reports, the same strategy file, the same strategy report, and the same ST4.HIT file. Thus, any time the D4 file changes, the reports must be done again for the updated D4 lottery data file.

• I just included three programs highly requested by LotWon users:
GridCheck.EXE
SkipPairs.EXE
(You'll see that they are four!)

GridCheck432.EXE and SkipPair4.EXE deal with my lotto pairing theory. Truthfully, it is a very difficult topic. I am still unable to fully grasp the complex mathematics of lotto pairing. But the attentive user can discover very useful things in the lottery pairs reports of SkipPairs.EXE. The reports show what pair indexes came out in rapport to the previous lotto drawing. The program was highly, highly requested by the mathematically skilled users of LotWon lotto software. The programs are not documented — documentation for those applications is a very difficult task. You can read useful facts at this site:

Just one of my (many!) secrets. I found a very useful form of strategizing: Reverse strategy. I look at those filter settings in the W report files that show skips above the median. The chance is very good the strategies won't hit the next draw. So, I add them to the LIE files. The LIE files contain combinations with unlikely probability to hit. Well, everything is turned upside down — that's why I named this method 'reverse strategy'.

I wrote in more detail about 'reverse strategy':

Lotto, Lottery Strategy in Reverse: Not-to-Win Leads to Not-to-Lose.

You will be up and running with these awfully powerful programs in a short time. Then, you will — and will need — spend time on looking for strategies. You must start with this mindset: I am the only one who can find good strategies for myself. After a while, you'll realize it is pretty stupid to share your strategies with others, especially playing the same games as you! I did such a costly mistake with my horse racing strategies! Somehow, I made similar mistakes with horse racing long-shot trifectas. I don't want competitors for the same prize! The prizes go down, while I am left with just cursing!

There is an issue with the filter ION3, the maximum level. The problem occurs only in the random generating programs (function keys F7 and F8). There is no programming bug or error. It is related to the compiler (PBCC). The same filter runs as normally in MDIEditor And Lotto WE. For now, my advice to you is to leave alone the maximum value of the ION3 filter (the one based on the Fadic addition) in randomized mode.

Best of luck!
