This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 29 November 2024 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 69 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 92% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 67 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 670 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 (5, 16, 27, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 19 March 2021 — its closest relative in 670 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 6.9% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (26 November 2024): 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 120 — the 40th 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 →16 had not appeared for 20 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 0.9× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 8% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈3.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 17,112 winners, 8% more than the 16k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
