This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 17 January 2018 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 85 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 98% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 63 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 1,217 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.
Where the money went
The rings take the ≈164k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 0 — 433 winners, 100% fewer than the 132k 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.
