Frequency Explorer →Shares 3 of 5 numbers (1, 11, 33) with the draw of 24 November 2011 — its closest relative in 736 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (16 May 2012): nothing carried over. Chance says 53% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 79 — the 21th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 98. No two numbers side by side. 45% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →11 had not appeared for 18 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 1.1× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 2% of the jackpot.
