This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 26 April 2011 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 29 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 8% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 19 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 120 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.
Frequency Explorer →Shares 3 of 7 numbers (25, 29, 41) with the draw of 14 September 2010 — its closest relative in 120 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (19 April 2011): nothing carried over. Chance says 72% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 239 — the 99th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 161. Side-by-side numbers: 41–42. 66% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →22 had not appeared for 17 draws. A number waits about 6 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →A line like this is played about 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 89% of the jackpot.
