Match Tickets in the Package Filter

Menu: Filters  Match Package

Using this filter you can compare tickets in the package with each other. This filter is similar to the Match Tickets in a File filter however the tickets are compared with each other.

The filter start with the first ticket in the package and compares it with the rest of the package until a matching ticket is found or end of package is reached. Then the filter continues with the second ticket and compares it with the rest of the package (starting with the third ticket in the package) etc. That's why the filter favors the end of the package when lower match requirements are selected.

Example [Expert Lotto 6/49]: Use the Generator to create 1000 random tickets from the whole range of 49 numbers. Select filter Match Tickets in the Package and choose options Match 2 and Remove Matching Tickets. Only a few tickets should be left in the package. Switch to the Package and compare these tickets with each other. You will find out that they match each other in one number at most. Write down these tickets and restore the package using the Undo function from the Package menu. Switch to the Visual Package page and click the numbers of the first ticket in the panel. Ticket's numbers will be highlighted in the table. In the last table column showing the match count you'll probably see numbers greater than "2". Use table's scroll bar to find the ticket you entered (the second blue row in the figure below).

The figure above shows another blue line showing a match in three numbers. It's because you restored the package with all 1000 tickets and these tickets were filtered out before.
