Quadruples

In Pick 5 or Pick 6 games, Quadruples are combinations where four digits are identical, while the remaining digit(s) are different.

Examples in Pick 5: 77773, 22225

Examples in Pick 6: 999977, 555554

These patterns are extremely rare compared to unmatched numbers, pairs, or triples.

Quadruples are particularly relevant in tickets generation and wheel system filtering, as including them ensures that these unusual but possible outcomes are not automatically excluded from your generated combinations.

When choosing numbers in Pick 5 or Pick 6 games:

Include Quadruples sparingly. Their rarity makes them long-shot picks.

In wheel system filtering, adding Quadruples ensures that rare patterns remain in your tickets.

Use Quadruples alongside more frequent patterns like unmatched numbers, pairs, or triples to create balanced and diverse ticket selections.

Combining Quadruples with filters for sum ranges, odd/even distribution, or high/low numbers allows you to cover both frequent and rare outcomes efficiently.

This filter can be used to filter out lottery numbers, wheel system combinations, or generated tickets.
You can filter those numbers by Quadruples

For example in a game 6/49 and for flexible and rather fail safe filtering please do as following
Set the Action property to Reject
Set the Number Main Type and Number Subtype to All

Under Filter Condition Options > Value set the value to
Under Filter Condition Options > Condition choose More Than Filter Value condition

Select from the Visual Analyser menu select:

Types of Numbers > Quadruples
The result of analysis is shown on a Visual Analyser's screen

The first diagram shown at the top of screen illustrates the general occurrence of Quadruples numbers.
 

If numbers are not drawn as contact numbers, the diagram will display a point in row 0. If they are drawn as contact numbers, the diagram will show a point in the row corresponding to the number of contact numbers drawn.
 
The upcoming diagrams will examine numbers drawn as the main type and their combinations with other types.
