Carbob,
This is the Distinct Segments filter, not Segments Repeated in the same Columns filter which has not been build yet.
In the 6/xx game 28 segment patterns are possible (I am sure you know these segment patterns). And there are 11 columns in which these segments appear. If you look at the segments data in WNH, you see that some segment patterns are repeated and some not repeated in the same draw (in different columns, in the horizontal line).
Distinct Segments filter uses the concept of unique or distinct segment patterns. All segment which are not repeated are distinct. And if any segment occurs several times, it is counted as a distinct segment only once.
The user can specify how many distinct segments would appear in the WNH data after the next draw, e.g. Min 4 Max 8 - Leave, and the filter will leave in the package only these tickets which could build the specified number of distinct segments (from 4 to
in 11 columns. If the prediction of 4 - 8 distinct segment is accurate, the jackpot ticket will be present in the package after the filtering.
See in the WNH Segments table how many distinct segments can be in 11 columns in each draw. What is most common, happens most commonly.
Good luck
