This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 31 January 2026 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 50 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 42% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 4 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 37 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 (15, 17, 27, 48) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 October 2025 — its closest relative in 37 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 1.8% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (28 January 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 50% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (2% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 169 — the 42th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 177. Side-by-side numbers: 48–49. 43% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →13 had not appeared for 14 draws. A number waits about 10 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 77% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈3.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 3 + Bonus — 1,770 winners, 205% more than the 581 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more 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.
