This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 15 May 2024 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 61 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 72% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 81 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 706 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 3 of 6 numbers (3, 13, 46) with the draw of 13 September 2023 — its closest relative in 706 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (11 May 2024): 30 carried over. Chance says 54% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 166 — the 57th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 159. No two numbers side by side. 47% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →13 had not appeared for 19 draws. A number waits about 9 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 67% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈1.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 2 + Bonus — 20,750 winners, 10% more than the 19k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
