Look for a utility program to be announced here. It will be a freeware program.

It can be used to update LD game files from a plain text file. It should be ready at the end of April.

Further to my post above. If Joe is providing such a utility this website can be used to get your results easily. http://www.lottery.com/results/past_draws.cfm/stateID

You will need to do a bit of editing to get it into the right format and obtain the results in chunks, but I have managed to get several complete histories using it.

To create, I usually copy to notepad, then edit the notpade file using excel (or similar - openoffice.org do a free excel type program which works as well) to strip out unwanted text and add preceding zeros etc.

This could then be run through Joe's program. It may seem time-consuming at first but it is still much quicker than entering them manually.

Also first check at the official websites of the games you are interested in. Many of them have complete downloadable histories that you could edit and use very quickly.
