This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 19 March 2011 — 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 37% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 195 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 1,589 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 6 numbers (10, 28, 35, 39) with the draw of 11 July 2009 — its closest relative in 1,589 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 79% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (16 March 2011): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 172 — the 74th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 150. Side-by-side numbers: 34–35. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →10 had not appeared for 21 draws. A number waits about 8 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 54% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈28M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 0 winners, 100% fewer than the 3.7M an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
