Menu: Filters Winning Numbers History
Sums
This is one of the most important application filters closely related to the Winning Numbers History page. The filter allows to process large numbers of tickets including the full list of all possible number combinations. If you manage to estimate correctly the minimum and maximum values for filter parameters (in the range of +/- 10) you can reduce the full package to a small set of tickets, which is guaranteed to include the Jackpot winning ticket!
The left hand part of this window offers controls for winning numbers selection.
The rest of the window contains controls to setup filter's parameters. It also includes buttons Update Sums and Lookup Min & Max Ranges. The filter is not active if the package is empty.
The right hand part of the window offers a table where you can enter the minimum and maximum allowed values for sums calculated in the Number History page to filter tickets in the package. See also Winning Numbers History.
Example [Expert Lotto 6/49]
After filtering the package will contain only tens to hundreds of tickets. These tickets will always contain the ticket you wrote down earlier and marked as Skipped in previous steps, i.e. the Jackpot winning ticket. You can verify this in the Visual Package page by entering ticket's numbers into the panel and Removing match in 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Notes:
In the example above we used functions from the History Differences page (Simulate) to estimate the min and max sum values. However you can use any 'reasonable' value. Keep in mind that the maximum sum value increment for all columns is +43 (for a 6/49 lottery). The maximum sum decrease in all columns is the sum of six largest differences.
You can reduce tickets in the package using all rows in the table, using any rows combinations or using a single row only. To use all checked table rows in filter's condition select And in the Logical Condition option. If one row only is enough to pass the filter select Or.
Entering lower value into the Max column then the Min column is not allowed and is indicated by an error message.
You can use also the following condition for ticket filtering:
The condition is that the given number of columns (4 to 6 in this case)
must have the difference of the next sum from the current sum from the
given range (-10 to +10 in this case). Setting difference range "0
to 0" for "1 to 1" column will enforce that at least one
column will have the same sum value in the next draw.
