This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 22 August 2026 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 53 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 51% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 10 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 92 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 (5, 10, 23) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 July 2026 — its closest relative in 92 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 65% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (19 August 2026): 10 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 105 — the 3th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 177. No two numbers side by side. 43% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →5 had not appeared for 15 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 2.0× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 52% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈3.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Bonus — 26,427 winners, 379% more than the 5.5k 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.
