This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 21 January 2012 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Where the money went
Every number was expected about that many times after 187 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.
The rings take the ≈279k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 496 winners, 1% fewer than the 503 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
