This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 28 June 2024 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 49 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 42% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 63 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 626 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 (19, 40) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 14 June 2024 — its closest relative in 626 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (25 June 2024): 40 carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 5 repeated (5% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 159 — the 84th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 128. No two numbers side by side. 35% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →47 had not appeared for 25 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 9% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈4.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 862 winners, 14% fewer than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
