Digit Filters Mirror5 Boxed Pick 5 The Mirror5 Boxed (P34ID:M5-BOX) is a so called "digit filter". A digit filter divides each digit into options. The Mirror5 filter has the following options:
Mirror5 = Digits 0 = 5 1 = 6 2 = 7 3 = 8 4 = 9 5 = 0 6 = 1 7 = 2 8 = 3 9 = 4
The addition "Boxed" (BOX) refers to the fact that in this case the position within the result is of no interest. So the filter string is always sorted in ascending order.
To show you how to find the Mirror5 filter for a Pick 5 number here an example step by step.

Mirror5 (M5) basically creates the opposing VTracs (VTX) mirror of the actual number by basically adding a 5 to each digit without carrying. It is also called a "shifting filter" as it does not reduce the 10 digits it just shifts each digit up by 5. Other common shifting filters are Mirror3 (M3) and Mirror7 (M7). |
