Number Groups Patterns

The filter accepts tickets that have the same pattern of distribution of numbers into selected number groups as any of the selected past winning numbers draws.

Example

The latest three draws in Expert Lotto 6/49 Demo lottery are:

Draw Number Groups Distribution
2010/28 Sun 2nd 23 29 36 42 44 47 [07] 0-0-2-1-3
2010/28 Sun 1st 06 13 14 19 41 42 [29] 1-3-0-0-2
2010/28 Wed 2nd 02 13 16 17 25 40 [27] 1-3-1-1-0

Note: The table above shows the patterns for the default range numbers groups 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-49.

When filter settings are Winning Numbers: 3 latest draws, Number Groups: Default then filter accepts for example ticket 1-11-12-13-21-31. The distribution of its numbers into the default number groups is 1-3-1-1-0 which does match one of the selected draws (2010/28 Wed 2nd). The filter also accepts for example ticket 23-26-37-42-44-46. Its number groups distribution is 0-0-2-1-3 which matches selected draw 2010/28 Sun 2nd. Another accepted ticket is for example 6-13-14-19-41-42. It has the same numbers as one of the selected draws (2010/28 Sun 1st) so it has also the same number groups distribution 1-3-0-0-2.
Filter rejects for example ticket 1-2-3-4-5-6 because its number groups distribution is 6-0-0-0-0-0 which does not match any of the selected past draws.
