Lotto Architect incorporates a very large abbreviated wheels database (close & open cover). You can find more details and information on wheels and authors at the links provided at the bottom of this page.
The full wheels database is available to all existing customers and those who kindly donate a respectable amount (details in the license agreement) to support the development as a gift. Please contact the author if you are entitled for the wheel databases.
We are also glad to announce some new world records we achieved! Please check them out here.
Full wheels (jackpot games) are generated "on the fly" within the program and therefore not included in the databases. If your game is e.g. 6/53, then the program can generate and use all possible full wheels with 7-52 picked numbers. Click on the links to view details on each abbreviated wheel category included.

Pick games
Pick 2-7 wheels are generated "on the fly" within the program and therefore not included in the databases. If your pick game has 10 balls in each container, then the program can generate and use all possible straight wheels (1-9 picked numbers) and all possible boxed wheels (2-10 picked numbers).

Credits/Copyright of wheels included
The wheels in this program are derived from several sources. Many of the wheels are originals and have been derived through tools and techniques developed by the author of Lotto Architect. These techniques, including the use of math covering theory, have been used in conjunction with other software which can be purchased from vendors of such software, or it is freely available to any person seeking such material. These external software tools have been - Covermaster by John Rawson, ININUGA by Uros Boltin, Cover32 by Kari J. Nurmela and Patric R.J.Ostergaard, and Wheel Generator 1.4, where this tool has been developed exclusively by the author of Lotto Architect.
Other wheels have been kindly made available by various authors whom have indicated they have no issue with them being included within the Lotto Architect program. We thank them for their permissions. Also included are wheels where authors cannot be traced or identified; these wheels are regarded as freely available within the general domain and may therefore be used without restriction.
As Lotto Architect has a policy of continually improving all its component elements - including the wheels database, new wheels developed over time by the author may apparently equal the obvious parameters of existing wheels (and claimed by others), such as number of lines. Such new Lotto Architect derived wheels however will only replace an existing wheel in the database where internal coverage/multiple hit factors are superior and can therefore be regarded as improved and new. In these cases no attribution to the author of the original wheel will be made.
The open-cover database is exclusively made using Covermaster / Cover32 / Wheel Generator 1.4.
Please note that the current database of wheels carries no internal attribution to authors of wheels. This is an interim situation as at the release of the next version of Lotto Architect, all wheels where they can be identified back to an author, will be so acknowledged at the point of use. In the meantime a description of each wheel included and its respective author(s) can be found here: Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 5, Pick 6, Pick 7.
