Combined Filters Neighbors Sums Pick 5 The Neighbors Sums (NB-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.
Neighbors (NB) is yet another alternative to the old VTracs (VTX). Instead of combining digits by adding 5 it selects the all even digits with the next odd digit up, 0 with 1, 2 with 3 all the way to 8 with 9. It is another efficient way to combine an odd with an even digit. 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 Neighbors Sums filter for a Pick 5 number here an example step by step.
Part I: Pick 5 Neighbors Sums Conversion Step 1: Divide 06486 into separate digits: 06486 => 0 6 4 8 6 Step 2: Convert each digit to filter: 0 = 1 6 = 4 4 = 3 8 = 5 6 = 4 Step 3: Combine the filters to a string: 1 4 3 5 4 = 14354
Part II: Pick 5 Neighbors Sums Conversion Step 1: Divide the 14354 into separate digits: 14354 => 1 4 3 5 4 Step 2: Add up the digits: 1 + 4 + 3 + 5 + 4 = 17
