Combined Filters VTracs Sums Pick 5 The VTracs Sums (VTX-SUM) is a so called "combined filter", a combination of a digit and a math filter. It requires two separate parts to create the filter.
The original idea of the VTracs (VTX), standing for variable tracs, was to take the daily lottery and to reduce the number of digits from 10 digits (0 to 9) to 5 digits (1 to 5). The reduction was supposed to simplify the tracking of 1000 Pick 3 numbers to 125 VTracs numbers. In between the VTracs concept was watered down by combining pretty every available filter with VTracs, while originally the idea was to improve the selection of straight numbers. The Sums filter is a so called "math filter". Math filters are created through calculations. You get the sum of a number by adding up the digits within that number. To show you how to calculate the VTracs Sums filter for a Pick 5 number here an example step by step.
Part I: Pick 5 VTracs Sums Conversion Step 1: Divide 68083 into separate digits: 68083 => 6 8 0 8 3 Step 2: Convert each digit to filter: 6 = 2 8 = 4 0 = 1 8 = 4 3 = 4 Step 3: Combine the filters to a string: 2 4 1 4 4 = 24144
Part II: Pick 5 VTracs Sums Conversion Step 1: Divide the 24144 into separate digits: 24144 => 2 4 1 4 4 Step 2: Add up the digits: 2 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 4 = 15
