This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 2 March 2021 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 47 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 39% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 26 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 188 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 (9, 36, 46) with the draw of 29 January 2021 — its closest relative in 188 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (26 February 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 68% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 241 — the 96th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 179. Side-by-side numbers: 29–30. 62% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →29 had not appeared for 17 draws. A number waits about 7 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 92% of the jackpot.
