This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 5 June 2013 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Scored 49 of 100 across six shape features — more typical than about 41% of every possible ticket.
Times drawn before — chance expected 44 of each
Every number was expected about that many times after 356 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 6 numbers (5, 17, 27, 49) with the draw of 14 April 2012 — its closest relative in 356 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 30% likelihood somewhere in that history.
From the draw just before (1 June 2013): 5, 17 carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.
Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 158 — the 59th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 150. No two numbers side by side. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →13 had not appeared for 55 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 53% of the jackpot.

The Unpopular Numbers Edge →Where the money went
The rings take the ≈6.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 4 — 6,817 winners, 15% more than the 5.9k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
