• I don’t get it. Isn’t LotWon my software? Isn’t it freeware without time limitations? Who else has the right to offer it for a “free” two-week trial?
: You are talking about built-in filters. LotWon uses some considered to be automatic. The standard deviation is the key in determining the automatic built-in filters. For example: the lotto combinations outside a normal sum-total range are discarded of.
: The external filters are a lot more effective. You want lotto wheels? You can use the “basic” MDIEditor and Lotto. Look at the “Any” filters I presented in my reply above (to BigJer’s post). Want “3 of 6” wheels? Set “Any-6” to 3. In a case like the line #3, you’ll be guaranteed at least one “3 of 6”. Beware that such situations are rare. The good news is that the lotto program will not generate any combinations in most cases. Want “4 of 6” wheels? Look at a low number in the “Any-4” column. The lowest, in our example, is in line 10: Any4=4. You set “Any6=4” and will be guaranteed “4 out of 6” in the situations when Any4<=4. Again, in most cases you may not get a single combination. You can look then for higher values, for example Any4=6. You will be guaranteed “4 out of 6” in the cases where Any4<=6 (drawings #1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10). It has a far better frequency.
: That’s how my LotWon works. I don’t know about other “Lotwons” and I don’t care much.

• Clarification:
When I said “Set Any6=6” I meant “Set Max_Any_6=6”.
Of course, those mathematically inclined deduced that immediately, since I said “If Any_4<=6”…
If I said “If Any_4>=6” then the use of “Min_Any_6=6” would be implied.
