Downloading Free Lottery History Files

Download the most current lottery history results for use in Advantage Plus lotto software only. We have three convenient methods that you can choose from to easily update your files.

Recommended Method - Free Lottery Updater Program

*NEW RELEASE* Our new free Lottery Updater provides the lottery results you need even faster and easier than before. For the most custom way to update your lotto files, download the free lottery updater program and use it to update your computer (our files are updated every Monday and Thursday). You can select the files you want to download and get them in a few seconds.

Note: If you own a Smart Luck Flash Drive, a version of Lottery Updater with identical functionality is built into the flash drive software and therefore this stand-alone version will not be useful to you..

Alternate Method 1 - Download the Zip Files Manually

Download the SLH Files sets for lotto results you need from this page: SLH File Sets. Instructions for downloading are also on that page. There are 3 files: one that includes all the USA history files we track, one for International games, and one for Keno games. You can download any and all that you plan to use.

SLH (Smart Luck History) files are binary files that are usable only by Smart Luck Advantage Plus program on PC compatible computers. These files are updated each Monday morning and can be easily downloaded in just a few seconds. The files are provided at no charge. Make a shortcut to the file(s) you want and use the shortcut(s) once a week to update your computer. Instructions for making shortcuts can also be found on the SLH File Sets page.

Alternate Method 2 - Download Individual SLH Files Manually

To download the files yourself, close Advantage Plus (if it is open, the file currently selected will be write protected on the disk and will not be able to be updated). Click on SLH FILES; then use the right mouse button and click on the file you want to download. Select "Save Target As.."

When the file window opens, first MAKE SURE the "Files of Type" field shows "Any Files" and not "Internet Files" or anything else. For the first file you want to save, insert the characters "c:\gh\" (without quotes) in the front of the filename so that it reads, for example, c:\gh\fl0553.slh. You should see a warning message that the file exists (unless this is the first time you have used the particular file). If you don't see this warning, you are probably downloading the file to the wrong location. In order to get the update, you will need to click the "YES" button to indicate that you want to replace the existing file.

When download is complete you will be able to view the current file in Advantage Plus.

Please note: Netscape has a bug in their browsers that will not correctly download some of the files (even files that download correctly can suddenly fail the next time you try it). The dates will appear messed up, but in actuality the file will not be usable. To avoid this problem, use Internet Explorer or the free download program above.
