Consecutive Pairs

This filter accepts tickets that contain selected pairs of consecutive numbers. A pair of numbers is consecutive if the second number in the pair is one higher then the first pair number. For example number pair 5-6 is consecutive, number pair 5-7 is not consecutive.

To use this filter, first select the desired consecutive pairs in the table then choose how many selected pairs each ticket must have to be accepted by the filter. For example in a 6/xx lottery there can be up to 3 pairs of consecutive numbers in a single ticket, e.g. 1-2-4-5-7-8.

 You can tick/untick multiple consecutive pairs with a single mouse click - first highlight the desired pairs with your mouse then click any of the highlighted pairs.

Note: Number combinations like 1-2-3-4-10-15 are interpreted as one instance of four consecutive numbers, it is never evaluated as two pairs of consecutive numbers.

Example

Filtering with settings Select Pairs: 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 7-8, 8-9, 9-10, 10-11, Minimum count in a ticket: 2, maximum: 2 accepts for example ticket 1-4-5-9-10-37 as it contains two of the selected pairs: 4-5 and 9-10. However the filter rejects tickets like 1-2-5-6-9-10 because it contains three selected pairs and the allowed maximum is 2. The same filter also rejects tickets like 1-2-3-4-20-30 as it contains a consecutive quad and not the required two consecutive pairs.
