Highest Match

This filter is similar to Match Winning Numbers filter as it also compares the filtered tickets with selected past draws. Filter accepts a ticket if it matches the selected past draws. For example if Match 4 is selected in the filter window then the filter accepts all tickets that match any of selected past draws in four numbers. However the accepted ticket cannot match other selected draws in five or six numbers (unlike the Match Winning Numbers filter where this is allowed).

Example

The latest five draws in Expert Lotto 6/49 Demo Lottery are:

2010/27, Sun 2nd, 01-06-12-24-32-41-[44]
2010/28, Wed 1st, 16-18-22-23-28-29-[24]
2010/28, Wed 2nd, 02-13-16-17-25-40-[27]
2010/28, Sun 1st, 06-13-14-19-41-42-[29]
2010/28, Sun 2nd, 23-29-36-42-44-47-[07]

Filtering with settings Winning Numbers: 5 latest draws, Match 2 accepts for example ticket 1-2-3-4-5-6 as it matches draw 2010/27 Sun 2nd in two numbers (1,6) and there is no higher match with any other draw.
Filter rejects for example ticket 1-12-24-47-48-49 because it matches draw 2010/27 Sun 2nd in three numbers and only match 2 is allowed in filter condition.
Filter also rejects for example ticket 6-14-25-36-39-41. The ticket does match draw 2010/27 Sun 2nd in two numbers however there is also higher match in three numbers with draw 2010/28 Sun 1st (numbers 6,14,41).

Filtering with settings Winning Numbers: 5 latest draws, Match 6 accepts only tickets that have the same numbers as the latest 5 draws. The filtering results are then the same as when using Match Winning Numbers filter with the same settings.
