This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 16 August 2011 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 78 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 99% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 21 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 136 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 4 of 7 numbers (18, 24, 25, 41) with the draw of 14 September 2010 — its closest relative in 136 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 61% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (9 August 2011): 39 carried over. Chance says 72% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 174 — the 65th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 161. Side-by-side numbers: 24–25. 66% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →18 had not appeared for 18 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 77% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈9.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 5 — 2,348 winners, 12% fewer than the 2.7k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
