How it Works: Entry Reduction
Once you've chosen your filters and clicked 'Build', LotWin could return anything from just a few to thousands of entries. But you wouldn't want to spend that much on lotto tickets. So how do you narrow down your list?
It's easy. LotWin has a built-in real-time reduction feature - use this to pick out the lotto entries most likely to contain a winning combination.
How does it work?
Suppose your initial selection included a winning entry - maybe it even included the jackpot. Unfortunately, you don't know which one it is. So use Entry Reduction to narrow down the list - without losing the most probable winners. Tell LotWin what result you require, and how much to reduce the list by, and it will do the rest.

Standard Reduction
This option reduces your entries, trawling through them for the most statistically-probable lines, and makes this guarantee: If your initial selection included the jackpot entry, there will be at least one entry in the reduced selection that wins a prize. [Screenshot: Reduction Results.]
Optimum Reduction
This option reduces your entries to an even smaller selection. When LotWin supplies your reduced list, it will tell you how likely these entries are to contain a winning line. You can then decide whether the odds are good enough. [Screenshot: Reduction Guarantee.]
What happens next?
Now you've produced a list of lines according to your criteria, you can save, edit and print them using LotWin's built-in tools.
