Entering as many draws as possible into the winning numbers

Hello everyone from the forum.
I think this is a very crazy idea, but if anyone here can answer me I will be grateful.
If I want to enter a lot of draws in Winning Numbers, what is your limit?
I think any computer and Excel is limited to the year 01/01/1900 until the year 31/12/2049.
If EL has no draw entry limits, I think I could put this amount of draw: 43,760?
What if I could change my computer date to max 12/31/9999 I could put it all in sweepstakes if any lottery had that amount of sweepstakes?
I am creating a database, but for that I need to know if this is something possible and who knows how to do, would appreciate if you explained to me.
Thank you all.

To be more precise.
Does anyone know how to change the computer calendar?
Be before 01/01/1900 and go beyond 31/12/2049.
Any tips?

Hello.
Could someone even answer me if there is a way to change the computer calendar to a year that is not limited to the year 1900 to 2049.
Getting into the BIOS the most I could do was until the year 2099.
Can you exceed this date?
After that the jackpot will be 90% closer.

Hi Edymurph,
You don't need to change computer calendar. I sent you a private message.
Cheers,
Liviu

Hi ...
I would like to ask again.
Our friend Liviu gave a hint, but I did not understand the concept behind his explanation.
I'll be very frank.
We know that there is no lottery in the world that has reached 100 thousand draws, ...
BUT ... if we already had such a large mass of results would it be possible to put those results in EL?
How many results can fit inside EL?
If I wanted to put 3,000,000 results into EL, what is the procedure for that?

I know there is no such thing as sweepstakes in any lottery, but only to end a theory that I think might work.

thanks...

As liviu suggested you can create a lottery that draws multiple draws on a single calendar date so that way you can cram "N x 365" draws into a single year.

Hello...
I'm kind lost in a file (DRAWS.DAT)
I have a program that updates sweepstakes straight from the site.
I was thinking of opening the folder where the draws are with some specific program to enter the results manually, but I don't know how to do that and I don't know if anyone can help to understand this process.
I tried to open it with notepad ++ and it appeared these numerous characters, I did not understand anything.
A hint.
The program was made in Java and I think this sweepstakes file is editable with Oracle.
As I do not understand this, could someone help me with this file?
here is the image and the sweepstakes.dat file.
thanks...

edymurph,

Bit intrigued at your desire to have thousands of draws in your database. They all surely can't be actual draws out of some lottery - there can't be a lottery that has existed long enough - so are they artificially developed?
If artificial what is the benefit?
Perhaps you have developed some unique concept that requires such a large draw history with which to work 8) - best of luck with it of course, but it sure isn't apparent to me. :?

cheers

Hi...
I still don't have anything concrete, but I'm on my way.
This file I posted here on the forum, there are only 1914 contests within that file.
I'm trying to include as many contests as I want in there, but by opening this file with notepad ++ you will see that it is encrypted in java or oracle language, so it looks confusing.
I need to include the contests in there in that method, but I have no idea how it works, so I posted here to see if anyone had any ideas.
