Filter for Hot number type
Any Value filter condition
If this filter condition is selected then generated tickets will consisting at least one of Hot number.
This is very flexible condition type to use because allows generating tickets that may have various quantities of different number types.
If you want to generate tickets and do not know how many numbers to include then this is a best option to go with.
To use this filter
1. check the Use check mark
2. Filter's Value property is disregarded when using this filter!
3. Choose the Any Value condition 

 

Ticket will always have at least one Hot number (shown in green circle)
It may be either a Contact or Outside number
Match filter's value condition
If this condition is selected then generated tickets will have the exact quantity of Hot numbers.
To use this filter
1. check the Use check mark
2. Enter filter value into a Value cell, how many Hot numbers
    you want to have on a ticket. No more, no less!
3. Choose the Match Filter's Value condition

 

 Example when the value 3 is entered:
Ticket will always have 3 Hot numbers (shown in green circle)
The rest of generated numbers they will be Cold numbers (shown in yellow circle)

So the generated ticket might have 3 Hot numbers and rest Cold ones
These numbers may be either distributed as only as Outside numbers:

The numbers 6 7 1 are Hot numbers and they are also all Outside numbers

Or they may be distributed as only as Contact numbers:

The numbers 2 4 4 are Hot numbers and they are also all Contact numbers

And finally they can be either distributes as Contact & Outside numbers together

The numbers 6 7 3 are Hot numbers and they are also Contact numbers (3)
and Outside (6 7)
Reject if more of filter's value condition
If this condition is selected then tickets will not have more of Hot numbers than is set in the Filter' Value cell. The cut off filter style.
For example if you want to generate tickets that must consist some of the Hot numbers but no more than you want then this filter is for it.
To use this filter
1. check the Use check mark
2. Enter filter value into a Value cell, how many Hot numbers
   maximum you want to have on a ticket. No more than that!
3. Choose the Reject if more of Filter's Value condition		 Example when the value 2 is entered:
Ticket will always have maximum 2 Hot numbers (shown in green circle)
The rest of generated numbers they will be Cold numbers
(shown in yellow circle)

So the generated ticket might have 2 Hot numbers and rest Cold

Numbers 6 and 7 are hot numbers but 2 5 are cold

OR it may have 1 Hot numbers and the rest as Cold

Number7 is hot but 3 2 5 are cold

There always will be some Hot numbers included if you use this filter.
Reject if less of filter's value condition
If this condition is selected then tickets will not have less of Hot numbers than is set in the Filter' Value cell. Also the cut off filter style.
For example if you want to generate tickets that must consist some of the Hot numbers but no less than you want then this filter is for it.
To use this filter
1. Check the Use check mark
2. Enter filter value into a Value cell, how many Hot numbers
   minimum you want to have on a ticket. No less than that!
3. Choose the Reject if less of Filter's Value condition		 Example when the value 1 is entered:
Ticket will always have minimum 1 Hot number (shown in green circle)
The rest of generated numbers they will be Cold numbers
(shown in yellow circle)

So the generated ticket will have at least 1 Hot numbers and rest Cold

OR it may have 2 Hot or more numbers and the rest as Cold

But there always will be at least 1 Hot number included.
 
Filter Proportionally condition
This is rather a flexible condition that you can use to create tickets. This condition is provided rather to use when you create a filters preset that may be used for many games, you can apply them to different games without changing filters values all the time.

It works almost exactly in the same way like the Reject if more of filter's value condition does.
The only difference is that in the Reject if more of filter's value condition you must provide exact filter value but here you can provide a percentage value.

You can set in percent how much of Hot numbers to include into a ticket.
The program will count automatically the percentage value and apply the value as a filter value.
For example you may enter 70 as percent value and in the result generated ticket will not have more than 70% of all numbers as Hot numbers
but they may have for example 60% of Hot numbers and 40% of Cold numbers etc.
Always Reject condition
If this condition is selected then generated tickets will never include Hot numbers.
To use this filter
1. Check the Use check mark
2. Filter's Value property is disregarded when using this filter!
3. Choose the Always Reject condition

The ticket will not have any of Hot numbers (all shown in white color)
but will have all the Cold numbers instead (shown in green circle)
 
Filter for Cold number type
Any Value filter condition

As we previously described in Hot filter description the Hot numbers may be distributed either as all as Contact or all as Outside or all mixed as
Contact & Outside. The same rule is here, the cold numbers may be distributed in those different ways.
 
Reject if more of filter's value condition
If this condition is selected then tickets will not have more of Cold numbers than is set in the Filter' Value cell. The cut off filter style.
For example if you want to generate tickets that must consist some of the  Cold numbers but no more than you want then this filter is for it.

Ticket will always have maximum 3 Cold numbers (shown in green circle)
The rest of generated numbers will be Hot numbers (shown in yellow circle)

So the generated ticket might have 3 Cold numbers and rest Hot


OR it may have 2 Cold numbers and the rest as Hot


OR it may have 1 Cold number and the rest as Hot


but there always will be some Cold numbers included anyway.
 
Reject if less of filter's value condition

So the generated ticket will have at least 1 Cold numbers and rest Hot

OR it may have 2 Cold numbers and the rest as Hot
