Media Coverage
The San Francisco Chronicle newspaper first broke the story of Psychic Jackpot software in their business section back in 1993. Then other news media outlets picked it up, such as the Dallas Morning News and the Sacramento Bee. Finally, the trade industry news media like Lotto World covered the new story.
It has been a long time since the product introduction and Psychic Jackpot has been redesigned to run on Windows machines rather than DOS with improved psychic training and fresh wheeling systems. The new software version will be officially released to the news media in early 2005.
