Custom Combinations Coverage Filter

Menu: Filters  Coverage  Custom Combinations

This filter is similar to the Minimizer filter with the exception that the coverage is not calculated for all combinations from selected range of numbers but only for user defined sub-set of combinations from a selected file.

Invoking the filter from menu first brings up a standard window where you can browse the combinations file. If you wish to optimize e.g. the coverage of triplets you must use dummy numbers to fill up the tickets in the file to the required count of numbers. All tickets in the selected file must contain the same count of dummy numbers.

Always use button Custom Combinations to check the wheel win guarantee before applying the filter! For example, if the tickets in the package cover only two thirds of all triplets from the selected file, then requirement to have 100% guarantee of Match 3 when hitting any three numbers of the wheel will have no effect and no tickets will be removed from the package.

Controls Description

Example:

Let's have a combinations file with 5000 triplets. The requirement I want to have 1 match in 3 numbers out of 3 numbers in 90% combinations out of 5000 will reduce the number of tickets in the package so that the remaining tickets will cover at least 4500 triplets (90%) from the file.

Let's have a combinations file with 1000 quads. The requirement I want to have 1 match in 3 numbers out of 4 numbers in 100% combinations out of 1000 will reduce the number of tickets in the package so that all quads will match at least one ticket remaining in the package in three numbers. That means we would have at least one Match 3 prize if the winning numbers contained any quad from our file.

Note: Because of the nature of this filter, the Back-testing feature is not available.

Note: If the combinations file contains all combinations from a given range of numbers (triplets, quads, etc) then the filter will yield exactly the same results as the Minimizer filter.
