This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 22 November 2013 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 41 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 24% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 47 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 420 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 5 numbers (11, 15, 20) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 30 December 2011 — its closest relative in 420 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 94% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (19 November 2013): 20 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 93 — the 21th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 115. Side-by-side numbers: 15–16. 39% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →16 had not appeared for 6 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 2.2× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 2% of the jackpot.
