Pairs Filter

Menu: Filters  Pairs

The pairs for filter's condition are selected using the panel grid in the left hand part of the filter window. All numbers are shown in red except for the highest number box, which is not active. Click any number box in the panel to select a pair; the second number of the pair is selected automatically. (That's why the highest number box is grayed out). Click the first number of the pair to unselect it. Option All must be present allows to choose if a ticket must contain all selected pairs to pass filter's condition (Yes selected) or if only one selected pair in the ticket is enough to pass filter's condition (No selected). You can select more pairs than the ticket can actually hold (e.g. a ticket can hold three pairs at most for a 6/49 lottery). When option All must be present is set to Yes then the filter works according to the following table:

Pairs in a ticket Selected pairs
(All must be present set to Yes)
Pass Filter?
1 1 Yes
1 2 No
1 3 No
1 4 and more No
2 1 Yes
2 2 Yes
2 3 No
2 4 and more No
3 1 Yes
3 2 Yes
3 3 Yes
3 4 and more Yes

The table above demonstrates filter logic for tickets with six numbers (e.g. Expert Lotto 6/49), the logic is analogous when playing lotteries with different count of numbers in a ticket.

Note that when option All must be present is on then pair's supplementary number is grayed out and is not active. Switching this option to No you can also click the supplementary numbers. This way the pairs can overlap so you can select pair 1,2 and also pair 2,3. Click number 2 box to select the second pair.

You can select any number of pairs in the panel.

Switching option All must be present from Yes to No and the other way round clears panel's selection.

As in other application screens where the panel is used you can take advantage of Panel Coloring, which can offer additional information.

The filter processes tickets with dummy numbers as well.
