Euromillions

[fastmover45]

Hi
I am a new prospective buyer of Expert Lotto and need to be sure it can print Euro millions slips before I pay out for the software.

Would it be possible for someone to help with the Euro millions slip.

I have been looking through the forum for helpful advice on changing or reinputing a lottery slip but not found anything useful.

I have attempted to input a new slip for the euro millions but it is not right and after much messing about I thought I would post to see if an expert could help

enclosed is a scan of the euro millions UK version slip it is to scale 1:1 on an A4 sheet of paper (checked and measured),if printed on A4 it is the right size.

could someone screen capture measurements that work or post a file for the euro millions slip.

Go to Tools > Playslips tick the "Show Extended List" box and you will find EuroMillions play slips for UK, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Select your respective play slip and designate it as the Default.

Hi Falcon

That is where i have been starting fom.

i have all the box's pritty much in the right place but there is a problem with the bonus balls.

i have edited the file (notepad++) to give 12 bonus balls but the position is all out. It needs 5 balls in one collem and 7 balls in the other collem.

Notepad++ edit was i changed the 12 from 11

<ticket main-count="5" bonus-count="2" >
<ranges>
<main-range min="1" max="50" single-pool="true" />

<bonus-range min="1" max="12" pool="bonus-a" label="PowerBall" />

<bonus-range min="1" max="12" pool="bonus-a" label="PowerBall" />

i am stuck

enclosed is a file of the very close effort i have done so far in a rar file

many thanks
Andy

fastmover45,

Euromillions is not my lottery thus I do not know why the current ticket in EL5 is not compatible with the parameters of the lottery draw. But it has been seen in the past where lottery parameters change so requiring a ticket playslip template change that some good folk have presented their updated ticket playslip details into EL5 - so hopefully the same will happen here for you too.

But in defence of EL5 I would not let this playslip issue hold you back from purchasing the product. In my opinion there isn't better software available in which to manage your lottery playing endeavors.

cheers

i have read the forums a bit and have see that you may be able to create a custom ticket to suit the Euromillions (not true)

If i create a new lottery slip lay out. I still can not create a euromillions lottery slip the way i should be able to.

i am sure there is some one who can help.

Hi people

Any Dev's or mods willing to help ?

[stan]

First you need to edit your current lottery setup to get the desired playslip panel layout. Then you should be able to define your new playslip.
However the new lottery wizard is not smart enough to achieve that kind of layout, it needs some hand-editing. Basically you need to add elements like <panel-offset number="8" value="1"/> <panel-offset number="15" value="1"/> etc into <main-panel>. And the same for the bonus panel.

Which country is that playslip from?

Hi Stan

thanks for getting back to me i was just about to give up.

The lotter is Euro Millions From England, about 30 million people play this on a Wed and Fri.

is there any chance you can edit a filename.payslip. i have scanned a slip in, in a previous post above and it is spot on size if it was printed out on A4.

This is my edited slip config file

Hi Stan

enclosed is an output from a printer with the above config.slip

can you increase the file upload limit as well 256Kb is just too low

[stan]

If you email me a PDF scan of a paper playslip I'll setup playslip printing myself. It'll be probably fastest.

thanks stan
