This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 21 June 2022 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 33 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 12% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 42 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 415 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 (2, 3, 20) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 15 January 2019 — its closest relative in 415 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 86% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (17 June 2022): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (5% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 101 — the 20th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 128. Side-by-side numbers: 2–3. 35% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →50 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 1.6× as often as an average ticket — more popular than 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 ≈3.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 3 + PowerBall — 798 winners, 8% fewer than the 864 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
