I tried something on a hunch with Lotwin and came up with some very interesting results in reducing the set of numbers to play over the next 4 draws.
Here is the sequence of steps:
1. After selecting your lottery, use Select Dates to set the latest date back to the 4th draw, (for purposes of testing the result).
2. Select the Hot Cold Filters and choose Cold Filters.
3. Select the lowest number, starting with 0, of Filters To Fail and perform a build. As soon as you get at least one set of lines with this filter selection, STOP.
4. Delete all of the filters used in generating the lines.
4. Using ALL of the numbers in the resulting lines, create a number set disallowing ALL of the numbers in the resulting lines.(I got as many as 19 lines in the NY 6 ball lottery)
5. Perform a build with this number set, reset the Select Dates to the latest draw and set "Use Draws" to the last 4 draws.
6. Perform a View and Check Lines. Determine how well you did in predicting the last four draws.
In the worse case, I only lost one number of the 6, while reducing the full 45 plus lines to 2 million plus with just one number set.
Comments welcome!
