Hi Stan. I thought you might ask that (LOL) I have been experimenting by dividing the total 40 numbers of our regular Sat lotto into 20 groups of 2 numbers. I have found that by using the number group filter to filter the groups, & by selecting only 6 groups (because our lotto is pick 6, or has 6 numbers in each game), & setting each of the selected 6 groups to min 1 max 1, you can reduce the tickets in the package from a max of 3838380 generated tickets to a mere 64 tickets in one go. Looking at the past drawing history, I have found that when you look through all the winning numbers from previous draws, they are nearly always spread over 6 number groups ( that is if you have used the 40 numbers & divided them into groups of 2), if this is the case & if you select the correct 6 groups you always end up with the jackpot ticket plus lots of minor prizes from your 64 tickets, & if not a Jackpot ticket, then nearly always a second division Plus lots of minor prizes. The trick is obviously in selecting the next draws 6 groups correctly, ( this is the part I am wanting help & suggestions from Expert Lotto users with) However, even if you only get 4 or more groups correct, you can still collect lots of minor prizes. You can also reduce the 64 tickets further by using other filters such as sums, odd/even, hi/lo etc. & still retain the jackpot ticket. Depending on the total numbers drawn in a lottery game the above system(my own idea), can be adapted to other games as well, however, it won't work with any games that contain 41 or more numbers. Thus my request to change the number groups filter to take more than 20 groups, so others can try the above system & make suggestions to improve it. I'll be interested in everyones comments.
