First/Last Digits
This
filter accepts only tickets that contain specified first/last digits.
Each pool number breaks down into two
digits. The first digit is the leading digit of the number, the last
digit is the second digit of the number. For example the first digit of number
23 is 2, the last digit of that number is 3. The first digit of number
9 is 0, the last digit of that number is 9.
Example
- When filter settings are Last digits: 1,2,3, At least 2 to 2
digits must be present then:
- 02-03-14-15-26-37 - filter accepts this ticket because it
contains last digits 2 and 3.
- 12-13-21-30-37-47 - filter rejects this ticket because it
contains last digits 1, 2, 3 and the condition is that at most two
digits can be present in a single ticket.
- 11-20-30-40-47-49 - filter rejects this ticket because it
contains only one of the selected last digits.
- When filter settings are First digits: 0,1,2, At least 1 to 3
digits must be present then each accepted ticket will have at least one
and at most three numbers from the range of 1 to 29.
Note: In a x/49 lottery there is no number with the first digit 5, 6,
7, 8 or 9 because all pool numbers are lower than 50. So the highest
possible first digit for that lottery type is 4.
