Filters
Filters allow reducing the number
of tickets in the package according to your lottery strategy. You set
the filter parameters and then you can choose either to keep tickets matching
these filter's parameters in the package or to remove matching tickets
from the package. Using a combination of filters is a practical way to
reduce the cost of your bet and to increase your chances to win.
- Odd/Even - you can enter
the required number of odd and their complement even numbers in each ticket.
The number statistics shows that the most common odd/even combination
is 3 odd and 3 even numbers (when playing lotteries with 6 drawn numbers).
- Sum - the filter compares the
sum of all ticket numbers with a given range. When playing a 6/49 lottery
the lowest possible sum is 21 (1+2+3+4+5+6) and the greatest sum is 279
(44+45+46+47+48+49). Low sum value means that the tickets mostly contain
lower numbers. The average sum is 150 meaning that ticket numbers are
composed of numbers around the average number (25). High sum value means
that the tickets mostly contain higher numbers.
This filter also allows checking sum root value and odd/even
sums.
- Successive
Numbers - by studying the history of winning numbers you can find
out that the drawn numbers quite frequently contain at least a pair of
successive (adjacent) numbers. The filter allows to specify how many pairs,
triplets or quads of successive numbers the tickets in the package should
contain.
- Match
Winning Numbers - you can compare tickets in the package with
winning numbers and remove (or keep) tickets matching winning numbers
in specified count of numbers. You can also select the date range of winning
numbers to compare with. This way you can remove from the package all
tickets which have already been drawn.
- Match Package - you
can compare tickets in the package with each other and remove (or keep)
only those matching other tickets in specified count of numbers.
- Match File - this filter
compares tickets in the package with tickets from a specified file and
removes (or keeps) only those matching tickets from the file in specified
count of numbers.
- Match
Numbers - you can select any count of numbers using ticket
panel and then define how many numbers filtered tickets must match.
- Random Selection - you can
remove from the package a specified number of tickets. The removed tickets
will be chosen randomly.
- Systematic
selection - you can remove from the package every N-th ticket.
- Single Numbers - you can
remove/keep only tickets containing specified numbers.
- Pairs - filter analogous
to the Single Numbers filter. You can remove/keep tickets containing
specified pairs.
- Triplets - same as the
Pairs filter. The filter parameter is a list of triplets the
tickets must contain.
- Powerball - this filter
is available for powerball-type lotteries only (i.e. bonus number(s) is
drawn from a different pool of numbers than the main numbers).
- Ticket Numbers Range
- you can specify the maximum difference of numbers at specified successive
ticket number positions.
- Standard
Deviation - this filter is based on distribution of numbers
in each ticket. "Closely packed" tickets with numbers close
to each other have lower standard deviation while tickets consisting of
two "distant" groups of numbers (numbers are closely packed
in each group) have higher standard deviation values.
- Panel - you can specify the
maximum count of ticket numbers in each row of playslip panel and/or the
maximum count of ticket numbers in each column of playslip panel. Matching
tickets can be removed from the package or kept in the package.
- Number
Groups - you can define up to 10 groups of drawn numbers
and specify how many ticket numbers should belong to each group.
- First
/ Last Digit - you can leave/remove tickets that contain
specified numbers (0 to 9) at their first or last digits positions.
- Low
/ High - you can specify the ratio of low and high numbers.
Low numbers are numbers from the lower half of the whole range of drawn
numbers, high numbers are numbers from the higher half.
- Ticket Index
Movement - filter allows remove from /leave in the package tickets which
are in defined distance from a chosen winning numbers ticket in the whole
list of all possible combinations.
- Ticket Index - the filter evaluates tickets according to their position
- index - in the set of all possible combinations.
-
Winning Numbers History - this group of
filters is closely related to functions available at Winning
Numbers History page.
- Sum
- filters tickets that do not fit into selected margins of winning
numbers history sum values in selected history columns.
- Segments
- removes tickets that do (not) have the selected count of numbers
from selected segments of History Differences tables
- Standard
Deviation - the filter parameters is the standard deviation
of winning numbers history sum values
-
Position Filters - this type of filters
evaluates ticket numbers at selected positions.
- Numbers -
filters tickets that have selected numbers at selected positions.
- Number Range
- makes sure that ticket numbers at selected positions are within selected
range.
- Number Movement
- specify the difference of ticket numbers from a given winning numbers
draw at selected positions.
- Odd / Even
- removes/leaves tickets with odd or even numbers at given positions.
- Low / High
- removes/leaves tickets with low or high numbers at given positions.
- First/Last
Digit - checks the first or last digit of ticket numbers
at selected positions.
-
Coverage
- Optimizer
- reduces tickets
in the package to achieve optimal coverage of all pairs/triplets/quads
from selected number range.
- Minimizer -
reduces tickets in the package
to achieve specified win guarantee.
- Fast Minimizer - works the same way as Minimizer filter but is much
faster.
- Custom Combinations
- reduces tickets in the package to cover the list of all custom combinations
from specified file while preserving specified win guarantee.
- Best
tickets - finds tickets that provide the highest coverage
of all other tickets in the package
- Compound
Filters - you can link several filters into a single filter
using logical operators AND and OR. All compound filter
parts are applied in a single step during the filtering process.
- Group
Filters - similar to Compound filters. However the
filter parts are linked using logical operator AND only and it
is possible to specify the minimum and maximum count of filter parts that
must pass.
- File Filters - use the same criteria as
the package filters however they filter tickets in a specified file instead
of tickets in the package. The filtered tickets then overwrite any current
package contents, the source ticket file is not modified.
