This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 30 January 2013 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 31 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 9% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 39 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 319 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 6 numbers (30, 35, 44) with the draw of 22 September 2012 — its closest relative in 319 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (26 January 2013): 36 carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 201 — the 94th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 150. Side-by-side numbers: 35–36, 36–37. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →30 had not appeared for 19 draws. A number waits about 8 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 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 66% of the jackpot.
