This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 26 May 2014 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 50 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 44% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 28 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 245 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 6 numbers (20, 36, 50) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 12 April 2014 — its closest relative in 245 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (24 May 2014): nothing carried over. Chance says 54% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 184 — the 75th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 159. No two numbers side by side. 47% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →39 had not appeared for 8 draws. A number waits about 9 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 66% of the jackpot.
