I know the software can do this however I cannot find where !!! Lotto 5/42

I would like to see the best 5 numbers that would have won the most or highest winnings in the past say 20 or 100 draws

Is someone can point me in the correct direction that would be great

Export/Import the 100 draws into a new package. Then use; Package-> Reduce-> Best Tickets.... Then in the best tickets window; Select [1] [best] tickets from the Package. This ticket's numbers will have the best matches from the package. To display all matches for the 100 selected draws use; Package-> Show As-> Winnings. In the Package Winnings tab, select the same 100 draws that were imported from the winning numbers list.

How exactly do I export/import (convert) past winning draws into a new package? I tried to export several winning draws and the only option I get is export them to csv file. Is there a way do do this within Lotto Expert software? I would appreciate an answer to this issue.

The 'CSV Text File' format doesn't seem to work for importing into a package(bug?), but the .XLS/XLSX file options should work.

1.- In the Winning Numbers Table tab, select/highlight the winning tickets you need.
2.- Then click on File-> Export...(or right-click on the winning numbers list and choose Export...) to bring up the export options window.
3.- In the export options window choose; Export as: MS Excel XLS File, with Selected rows only and then Export.
4.- In the system export save window, name and save the .XLS file.
5.- Then in EL press 'F6'(or Package-> Insert-> Ticket File...) to import, then insert, the .XLS file.
