This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 20 February 2026 — 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 93% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 80 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 798 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 (7, 8, 41) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 13 January 2023 — its closest relative in 798 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (17 February 2026): 23, 41 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 115 — the 34th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 128. Side-by-side numbers: 7–8. 35% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →8 had not appeared for 13 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 1.2× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 6% 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: 1 + PowerBall — 67,164 winners, 4% more than the 65k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
