This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 24 March 2026 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 44 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 27% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 7 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 100 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 2 of 5 numbers (13, 52) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 6 February 2026 — its closest relative in 100 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (20 March 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 32% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 191 — the 61th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 178. Side-by-side numbers: 52–53. 26% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →69 had not appeared for 14 draws. A number waits about 14 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 51% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈4.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus Ball — 5,584 winners, 7% fewer than the 6.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
