This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 9 May 2026 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 39 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 20% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 19 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 161 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 (19, 24, 36) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 18 October 2025 — its closest relative in 161 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 94% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (7 May 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 142 — the 37th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 153. No two numbers side by side. 49% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →21 had not appeared for 15 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 1.2× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 40% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈266k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 32,757 winners, 4% fewer than the 34k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
