This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 25 May 2024 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 39 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 20% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 82 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 709 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 (7, 22, 26) with the draw of 10 February 2024 — its closest relative in 709 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (22 May 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 54% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 134 — the 24th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 159. Side-by-side numbers: 30–31. 47% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →31 had not appeared for 22 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 3.3× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 21% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈2.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 2 + Bonus — 27,170 winners, 12% fewer than the 31k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
