This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 26 November 2010 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 56 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 60% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 12 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 112 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 2 of 5 numbers (12, 22) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 2 November 2010 — its closest relative in 112 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (23 November 2010): nothing carried over. Chance says 46% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (5% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 110 — the 42th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 115. No two numbers side by side. 39% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →34 had not appeared for 12 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 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 4% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈4.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 818 winners, 15% more than the 712 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
