This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 26 April 2022 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 13 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 0% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 20 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 159 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 4 of 5 numbers (1, 3, 7, 11) with the draw of 30 December 2021 — its closest relative in 159 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 4.6% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (31 December 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 30 — the 0th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 100. Side-by-side numbers: 7–8. 44% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →8 had not appeared for 6 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 3.5× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 1% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈530k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 7,057 winners, 37% more than the 5.2k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more 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.
