This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 26 May 2015 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 26 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 6% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 42 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 422 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 (6, 21, 24) and 0 of 2 stars with the draw of 9 January 2015 — its closest relative in 422 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 87% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (22 May 2015): 24 carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 5 repeated (35% expected).
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 63 — the 2th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 128. Side-by-side numbers: 5–6, 6–7. 35% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →21 had not appeared for 24 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 3.3× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 2% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈20M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus 2 Bonus Balls — 3,032 winners, 74% more than the 1.7k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
