Positional Number Movement
This filter compares ticket numbers at selected positions with past
winning numbers draws. Number movement is the difference between
ticket's number and past winning number at the same position. For
example if ticket's first number is 4 and latest winning number at the
first position is 23 then the number movement is 4-23=-19. If ticket
number at position 2 is e.g. 33 and the latest winning number at
position 2 is 29 then the number movement at position 2 for the latest
draw is 33-29=4.
To use the filter, first click Select button to choose the past
winning numbers draws to filtered tickets will be compared with. Then
tick the ticket position(s) you wish to filter and enter allowed number
movement range for each selected position.
Option All draws must pass says that filter accepts a ticket only if
the number movement is within desired range for all selected past
draws. With option At least one draw must pass the filter accepts a
ticket if the number movement is within the range when compared with at
least one of the selected past draws. Note: If only a single past draw
is selected in the filter window then those two options produce equal
filtering results.
Optional settings Sum of number movement min/max make the filter
condition more strict by limiting the sum of number movement values in
selected ticket positions.

Draw selection Latest Range 2 to 3 selects the following two draws:
2010/28 Wed 2nd, 2-13-16-17-25-40-[27]
2010/28 Sun 1st, 6-13-14-19-41-42-[29]
- When filter settings are Winning Numbers: Latest Range 2 to 3, At least one draw must pass, Position 1: -1 to 1, Position 2: -1 to 1, At least 2 to 2 positions must pass then:
- 01-12-20-30-40-49 - filter accepts this ticket because its numbers at the first two positions are one lower then winning numbers from draw 2010/28 Wed 2nd so at least one draw passed.
- 04-12-20-30-40-49 - filter rejects this ticket because the number at the first position is outside the allowed range -1 to 1 in both selected draws.
- When filter settings are Winning Numbers: Latest Range 2 to 3, All draws must pass, Position 1: -5 to 5, Position 2: -5 to 5, At least 2 to 2 positions must pass then:
- 01-08-20-30-40-49 - filter accepts this ticket because its numbers at the first two positions are within -5 to 5 range for both selected draws.
- 08-14-20-30-40-49 - filter rejects this ticket because the number at the first position is outside the allowed range -5 to 5 when compared with draw 2010/28 Wed 2nd and the selected condition says that all draws must pass.
- When filter settings are Winning Numbers: Latest Range 2 to 3, All draws must pass, Position 1: -1 to 1, Position 2: -1 to 1, At least 2 to 2 positions must pass then the filter rejects all tickets because the first number in draw 2010/28 Wed 2nd is 2 and the first number in draw 2010/28 Sun 1st is 6 so there is no number that would fit into -1 to 1 range when compared with both of these numbers.
- When filter settings are Winning Numbers: Latest Range 2 to 3, All draws must pass, Position 1: -5 to 5, Position 2: -5 to 5, At least 2 to 2 positions must pass, Sum of number movement min: -2, max: 2 then:
- 01-16-20-30-40-49 - filter accepts this ticket because its numbers at the first two positions are within -5 to 5 range for both selected draws and the sum of number movement for the first selected draw is (1-2) + (16-13) = 2 and the movement sum for the second selected draw is (1-6) + (16-13) = -2. Both movement sums are within the allowed range.
- 01-08-20-30-40-49 - filter rejects this ticket because the movement sum for the first draw is (1-2) + (8-13) = -6 and the second sum is (1-6) + (8-13) = -10. Both values are outside the allowed range.
