This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 2 May 2014 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 38 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 19% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 31 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 311 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 5 numbers (4, 30, 42) and 1 of 2 stars with the draw of 26 March 2013 — its closest relative in 311 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 77% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (29 April 2014): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 11 repeated (35% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 145 — the 70th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 128. Side-by-side numbers: 30–31. 35% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →4 had not appeared for 10 draws. A number waits about 10 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 0.9× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 8% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈30M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 1,652,841 winners, 24% more than the 1.3M an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
