This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 26 July 2017 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 62 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 75% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 96 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 786 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 6 numbers (1, 11, 23, 37) with the draw of 20 April 2011 — its closest relative in 786 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 54% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (22 July 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 137 — the 34th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 150. No two numbers side by side. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →30 had not appeared for 21 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 1.0× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 41% of the jackpot.
