This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 16 August 2026 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 60 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 72% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 350 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 3,147 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 (14, 22, 38) with the draw of 6 November 2024 — its closest relative in 3,147 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (15 August 2026): 5 carried over. Chance says 46% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 100 — the 29th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 115. Side-by-side numbers: 21–22. 39% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →38 had not appeared for 11 draws. A number waits about 9 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 1.0× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 4% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈189k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 1,155 winners, 4% fewer than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
