I reinstalled pentads plugin. The application stops when I try to calculate statistics for 8,145,060 tickets but it works for the winning numbers history and smaller numbers of lines.
I experimented with pentads for rejection filters.
I calculated pentad statistics for the last 10 draws, selected all pentads in the table and filtered them out from full package of 8,145,060 possible tickets. 2350 ticket were filtered out this way.
I tried to get the same result in a different way.
I built a compact filter using Compound Filter Builder and Match Numbers Filters using for this the results of the last 10 draws, settting the filter to remove the tickets which match 5 numbers in each of the 10 lines included in the filter. This way filter removed not 2350 but 2340 tickets.
I am not sure what causes the difference. I entered the last ten draws results correctly and the numbers to the Match Number Filter correctly as well.
Cold you please explain what causes the difference of 10 tickets?

i tried the same for the demo expert lotto 6/49 lottery and i got similar results. 2520 tickets passed when using matching winning numbers filter (the last 10 draws), 2590 tickets passed when filtering from pentad stats.
i don't know where the bugs but i'd stick with the winning numbers filter for the moment.

problem solved - both filters are actually right. the match winning numbers filter will remove/keep all tickets that match the latest 10 draws in *exactly* 5 numbers. but there are also some tickets that match the winning numbers in 6 or in 5+1 numbers. those are filtered out as well (unless you tick the appropriate box). so the match winning numbers filter leaves/removes more tickets then the pentads filter from the statistics.
