Repeat numbers

[Guest]

Hi Stan
I have noticed that in the New Zealand lotto drawings,( & I think lots of others), that very often at least two numbers are repeated from the previous weeks draw, & very often all six numbers appear in a draw that have been drawn in the previous 5 to 10 weeks. Because of this, I think it would be fabulous to have a filter that you could include say any one or more numbers from last weeks drawing (or any amount of previous draws you want to select) in each ticket in a set of numbers you are about to generate. I looked at different ways of acheiving this but they all seemed messy & time consuming. I looked at the "match winning numbers filter", but that doesn't seem to do quite what I would like.......it seems to remove/leave tickets which match the" winning number selection" in the package whereas, I want to be able include tickets that contain say 1 number from a ticket three weeks ago, and one number from a ticket say 5 weeks ago Maybe not so much as a filter is needed, but a feature added to the generator to allow this to be done.? Put another way, I would like to be able to generate tickets containing from 1 to 6 numbers from a selected period of past draws numbers. ( e.g. the last 10 draws). Hope you can understand this ok, I look forward to your reply.

there was a feature request from one of our czech customers to add some sort of 'custom winning numbers selection' that would allow non-continuous selection of previous draws. e.g. select draws from 1 week ago and 3 weeks ago and 5 weeks ago starting from the latest draw in the database.
i think this custom selection in the match wn filter should solve your problem.

Great I take it that you are going to add this feature in a future update? Does it mean we will be able to generate tickets that will have say 2 numbers from last week, 2 numbers from the week before included in the same ticket?, and be able to generate tickets that contain only numbers from say the last 4 draws etc.? Many thanks

well, as i said - there will be a new wn selection method only but it should make the match wn filter more flexible.
