Below Last Number

In lottery layout analysis, a number is considered “below the last number from the previous draw” if it is located directly beneath that number on the physical ticket layout (such as a standard number grid). This does not refer to numerical order, but rather to physical placement on the lottery slip. For example, if the last drawn number in the last draw was 22, and 28 is located just beneath 22 on the ticket grid, then 28 is considered "below the previous last number." This technique helps spot layout-based trends that may influence number selection.

Look at the first number drawn in the last game and find the number directly beneath it on the ticket layout.

Consider including that "below" number in your next selection — some draws reflect vertical layout trends.

Use this method in combination with others (like frequency or mirror numbers) for more strategic variety.

This approach works best if you consistently use the same ticket layout (e.g., 5×5 or 7×7 number grid).

While not predictive, this strategy can highlight visual trends across draws.

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

Here is the example of setting up filter to filter wheel system or numbers when generating tickets:
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 > Below Last Number
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 Below Last Number 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.
