• I didn’t present the “Vertical” filters for the Lottery, lotto software. They are implemented, partially, only in "MDIEditor and Lotto" version 8 (now version WE = far better!). The vertical filters can be used the same way as the "Any" filters. The minimum level eliminates all the combinations underneath. The maximum level forces lottery combinations that appeared within the range.
There is related info on the Excel spreadsheets applied to lottery and lotto development of software page. It refers to the lotto-5 game, but the same is true about the lotto-6. The facts are based on FFG. Take a look at a lotto-6 data file. The file must be sorted first, so that every drawing is in ascending order (1,2,3,4,5,6). If a lotto-6 game has 49 numbers, you’ll see that only a limited group appears in each position. The first position in a drawing probably has only numbers between 1 and 30. In 95% of the cases, only 75% of the lottery numbers make up each drawing position.
The “VERtical-6” filter in “MDIEditor and Lotto” uses that feature for good results. If you set the MAX_Ver_6=90 (maximum level) the program will generate only combinations that contain numbers in the last 90 drawings, position by position. Probably there are some 30 unique numbers or fewer in each position (in a lotto 6/49 case). The program will generate a maximum of C(30, 6) = 593775 combinations. The minimum level leads to different results. If Min_Ver_6=20 and there are only 15 unique numbers in each position, the program will eliminate up to C(15, 6) = 5005 combinations.
MDIEditor and Lotto also uses inner filters automatically. For example, combinations such as 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 5,10,15,20,25 are eliminated automatically; also, combinations with sum-totals outside the normal range (bell curve). There inner filters that some users may not want to enable. MDIEditor and Lotto does not generate all-even or all-odd combinations. They do occur, but very rarely. Who expects to win each and every drawing?
I know, it would be great if a new freeware version of MDIEditor and Lotto enabled ALL the “Any” and “Ver” filters. Problem is I am involved in too many things simultaneously. There is no time, there are insufficient resources. I was laid-off; therefore I have a lot more free time, right? Well, not really. This is a hobby, not a business. If I allocate all my time to it, suspicion rises.
I need to soothe my mind, body, and spirit. I hit the trails. If I hike too often, I become suspect of trail predator. (The Appalachian Trail was the scene of some grave events in the recent past.) I run back home. My feet and body are so tired that I lie in bed like a log. If I stay home for too long, my neighbors become suspicious of me. If I drive around with no real purpose, I am suspect of potholes on the road. If I go to the shopping mall, I become suspect of shoplifting. If I go to an employment office to check jobs online, I am suspect of hacking the government computer systems. If I go too often to the post office to check my box, I am suspect of mail fraud. If I go to a field for a fresh breath, I become suspect of drought. If I fly the planet, I become suspect of angel molesting and air bootlegging…
Nevertheless, FearSurvival speaks loud and clear. "Be your pure self under all circumstances! It’s your duty!”
"For he who was fed [with] the fear of the forest and sap the dew of the shadow shall be deserving to be sacrificed to Wisdom.”
