Articles


Home



If you play the UK Lottery on a regular basis (with the same numbers each time) or if you have a subscription, you might find the following spreadsheet useful:

For 10 lines:


a1_lotteries_10.zip
(11.5 KB)

For 100 lines:


a1_lotteries_100.zip
(13 KB)

EuroMillions:

(9 KB)

EuroMillions - 100 lines:


a1_euromillions_100.zip
(9.39 KB)

The first two spreadsheets will work with Lotto and Thunderball games.

How to Use

Firstly you need to enter the numbers you play with on the left-hand side.  You can add up to 4 lines for each game (unless you are using the 10 or 100 line version of the spreadsheet), the below examples use 2:

Lotto

Your Lotto Numbers

Thunderball

Your Thunderball Numbers

Every time a draw is held, you will need to enter the winning numbers on the right-hand list i.e.:

Lotto

Lotto Results

The green column is for the Bonus ball.  If you want to, you can enter the Jackpot and whether their was a rollover for that week i.e. 0 for no rollover, 1 for rollover, 2 for double-rollover, etc.

Thunderball

Thunderball Results

The pink column is for the Thunderball.

The number of matches will automatically appear in the A, B, C and D columns, which correspond with the numbers you have in the 'My Numbers' section.  If you have won, the cell will become green, as shown above.

Checking the Results

You can check the Lotto and Thunderball results at The National Lottery website:

Comments: Do you know a fast way of inputting the previous draw numbers? I am wanting to use your spreadsheet to pick out a set of numbers which have never had a big win / only a few £10 wins.

I have a file with EVERY single draw to date listed.

Thanks,
Chiller

 
Reply: Ideally if you can open your file in Excel, copy and paste (as values) the results into one of the Lotto spreadsheets (above).  You will then need a way of activating the macro for each line to show the results.  This can be done by pressing F2 on one of the winning number cells (or bonus ball) for each line or a quicker way would be to create a macro to do this for you.

Comments: Hi,
I do see that there are 6 columns, but my lotto has
only 5 numbers with a max of 39.
Please let me know if i can use it.
Thanks.

Load of crap ... these sheets are only for recording the winning numbers and prizes , and do not show if you have won or not .... Do just the same on a piece of paper.... ROY

 
Reply: The winning numbers show up as highlighted in green.  Maybe there is a bug in one of the spreadsheets.  Which one did you try?  Also have you enabled macros?

Very useful tool. However, I have to re-enter the winning numbers, everytime I change my played numbers

 
Reply: If you enter new numbers under 'My Numbers', the results for previous draws will not change.  Future results will be against the numbers currently in 'My Numbers'.

Comments: Brilliant, I have been using a lottery programme which I bought in 1994 it is no longer working as I run a syndicate of 25.  Have put your spreadsheet into mine which keeps a note of payments and winnings, also so much easier now everything is in one place.  Thanks very much.

Comments: Hi Martin,

I have found the 100 line lottery spreadsheet to be very useful..is it possible to have a 100 line version for the Euromillions as well?

thanks

Comments: Hi there,

I've downloaded your lottery spreadsheet and it is very helpful indeed, I have been trying to do something like this without sucess for some weeks now. I'd like to know if you have done one for the euro lottery? If not is there any chance you could email me the vba code for the macro to accomodate the euro lottery and 10 play lines.

Thanks in advance

Alex

Your lottery checking spreadsheet is a very useful tool, the only problem is that can it be expanded so that more lines can be used instead of just 4? I have 9 lines and would like to continue using it but i am unable to add more lines?

thanks

Lee
