This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 21 September 2026 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 37 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 17% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 110 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 1,142 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 (33, 45, 49) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 22 August 2020 — its closest relative in 1,142 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (19 September 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 172 — the 88th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 133. Side-by-side numbers: 22–23. 34% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →23 had not appeared for 12 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 16% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈206k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 2 + Star Ball xB — 525 winners, 95% fewer than the 12k 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.
