This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 20 November 2012 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 32 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 11% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 31 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 202 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 (19, 24, 26, 43) with the draw of 2 March 2010 — its closest relative in 202 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 75% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (13 November 2012): 39 carried over. Chance says 72% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 229 — the 98th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 161. Side-by-side numbers: 43–44. 66% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →24 had not appeared for 20 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.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈10.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 5 — 2,571 winners, 12% fewer than the 2.9k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
