hi stan, i just have a question regarding file simulation with back-test tickets and actual filtering form sums in WNH columns.. whenever i do file simulation with 84000 thousand tickets together with my back-test tickets with 9 to 11 columns must pass and -20 to 20 range i always get the six numbers in my first 20 number occurrences but when i actually test it for a filter for the next drawing i only get 3 to 4 numbers in my first 30 i seldom get 5 to 6 numbers in my 6/42 game. is there something that im doing wrong?

please realize that the whole file simulation tab exists only to confirm the theory that correct sum ranges push winning numbers to the top of sorted number stats.
so the file simulation is basically cheating as it know the right winning numbers before-hand (back-test tickets). it calculates expected wnh sum ranges for these tickets and then only checks numbers stats for 'simulation tickets'. nothing else and nothing more.
there are basically two usages of this tab:
* verify how narrow/wide can be wnh sum ranges for your lottery, together with 'columns to pass' settings. if you make them too narrow or too wide, winning numbers won't appear at the top of sorted stats.
* if you have a set of tickets prepare for bet then you can check if those tickets really do push winning numbers to the top. if not, then there's probably something wrong with your filtering process.
so, it's natural to get winning numbers at the top when back-testing your own tickets. but it assumes that some of those tickets will actually get drawn in the next draw!
btw i use simulation to predict the increase or decrease of each column also i read that for strategy 1 in a 6/49 game after you filter correctly you should have at least 4000 to 12000 tickets left in the package but me whenever i filter in usually get at least 60000+++ tickets am i doing something wrong? tnx in advance for the advice.
you've probably relaxed your filtering conditions at some stage. either too wide wnh sum ranges or too many columns are allowed not to pass...
