This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 13 June 2017 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 67 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 90% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 88 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 788 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 5 numbers (13, 32, 36, 45) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 11 September 2012 — its closest relative in 788 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 12% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (9 June 2017): 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 144 — the 84th 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 →18 had not appeared for 10 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 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 12% of the jackpot.
