Match Winning Numbers Filter Backtesting

[Alcymart]

I wanted to try some backtesting with the Match Numbers Filter comparing 4.6 million blocks against 1212 draws to see how many 6/6 matches there were. It took 35 minutes for results of 399 jackpots... why so long when another software yields results in 2 seconds?... but thats not my question... when I click Backtest, it shows no results at all, all blocks fail... what am I missing here?

The 4.6 million blocks I got by leaving only 3 odds/3evens from all 6/49 combinations.

well, you probably picked the 6 numbers that haven't been drawn yet (in your database of 1212 draws)
what kind of result did you expect here?

Let me be clearer with an extreme example Stan...

Lets say IF, just IF I would of bought 4 million combinations every draw, how many times would I have gotten Match 6 among the 1212 draws?

so I load in the 4 million combinations in EL and go to Match numbers filter and click backtest but I get all 1212 tickets failed which is wrong.

399 Jackpots were won IF I would of played 4 million tickets per draw.

use 'match winning numbers' filter, select all draws, 'match 6'

or faster way in this particular case - calculate stats for all winning numbers, go to odd/even table and see how many draws have 3/3 ratio

Alcymart,
There is another way to do it.
Load your Package of tickets for your lottery.
Go to the tab 'Package Winnings', third from left on bottom.
Make sure all Draws is shown.
Click on 'Win Summary' on bottom left of page.
It will take more than seconds, but will show all your winnings. 6's,5's etc.
It you click on 'Test' up above instead and on 'Show winning tickets only', you will see the tickets that won in each catagory. And can sort them.
You can also test for just the last draws etc.

Regards,
Martin
