This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 1 May 2012 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 62 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 78% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 27 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 173 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 (29, 34, 36) with the draw of 25 October 2011 — its closest relative in 173 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (24 April 2012): 6 carried over. Chance says 72% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 169 — the 59th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 161. Side-by-side numbers: 36–37. 66% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →37 had not appeared for 16 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 81% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈71M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_5_b — 2,084 winners, 13% fewer than the 2.4k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
