Hi, I tried some tests on the Demo 6/49 lotto.
2010/28 Sun 1st 7,453,915
2010/28 Sun 2nd 13,737,320
2010/29 Wed 1st 9,351,467
______________________________
2010/29 Wed 2nd 2,749,693 drawn numbers 2,12,13,27,29,31 (7)
Comparing Wed 2nd and Wed 1st, there are 5 repetitions which are 7,4,9,6,3
Comparing Wed 2nd against Sun 2nd there are 3 repetitions which are 2,7,3
These repetitions are found at any position, not the exact ticket position.
I toggled off the latest draw Wed 2nd so the latest is now Wed 1st
To use 1 latest draw, 5 to 5 or 5 to 8, doesn’t find the winning ticket, it would only find the ticket if it matches exactly in the same ticket index position column.
(5 to 8, 1 latest draw found 1985 tickets, 5 to 8, 2 latest draws found 23,340 tickets, 5 to 5, 1 latest draw found 1985 tickets, 5 to 5, 2 latest draws found 23,340 tickets)
So as edymurph said, it would be good if this filter could find repetitions of index numbers from ANY position.
As in the example above, there were 5 repetitions between Wed 1st and Wed 2nd and 3 repetitions between Wed 2nd against Sun 2nd when they are compared against any position.
From the mantis issue:
http://expertlotto.com/issues/view.php?id=153Yes, but to repeat on the same position . How many index digits are repeated from previous draw(s) in the same position .
One more question - if one ticket index is e.g. 123456789 and the other ticket index is 3456 do you want to compare '3456' with '6789' or with '1234'?
With '6789 ' as to be compared '000003456 ' with '123456789'
