Digits Movement Patterns

The filter accepts tickets that have the same pattern of movement of first/last digits as any of the selected past winning numbers draws. The movement pattern of filtered tickets is calculated by comparing its digits with the digits of the latest selected draw.

Example

The latest three draws in Expert Lotto 6/49 Demo lottery are:

Draw First Digit Pattern Last Digit Pattern
2010/28 Sun 2nd 23 29 36 42 44 47 [07] ++++== -++-++
2010/28 Sun 1st 06 13 14 19 41 42 [29] ====+= +=-+-+
2010/28 Wed 2nd 02 13 16 17 25 40 [27] -=--=+ --++--

When filter settings are Winning Numbers: 3 latest draws, Last digits then filter accepts for example ticket 1-2-7-8-10-11. When compared with the latest draw 2010/28 Sun 2nd its last digit movement pattern is --++-- which does match one of the selected draws (2010/28 Wed 2nd). The filter also accepts for example ticket 28-29-35-39-43-49. When compared with the latest draw 2010/28 Sun 2nd its last digit movement pattern is +=-+-+ which matches selected draw 2010/28 Sun 1st.
Filter rejects for example ticket 1-2-3-4-5-6 because the pattern of last digits is ---++- (comparing with the latest selected draw 2010/28 Sun 2nd) which does not match the pattern of any of the selected past draws.

When filter settings are Winning Numbers: 3 latest draws, First digits then filter rejects all tickets. Looking at the table above we can see that in all three selected past draws the movement pattern mandates one first digit greater than 4. However that is not possible in a x/49 lottery.

When filter settings are Winning Numbers: 1 latest draw, Last digits then filter rejects all tickets. The last digit at the second ticket position is 9 and the movement pattern requires greater last digit at that position. However there is no last digit greater than 9.
