This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 28 June 2022 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 62 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 77% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 42 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 417 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 (12, 28, 29) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 27 July 2021 — its closest relative in 417 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 86% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (24 June 2022): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 13 repeated (5% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 128 — the 50th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 128. Side-by-side numbers: 28–29. 35% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →29 had not appeared for 36 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 1.5× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 5% 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 3 — 19,478 winners, 6% fewer than the 21k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
