What this doesn't mean
- Historical frequency and patterns do not change the probability of any future draw — every combination is equally likely.
- This tool does not predict, guarantee, or improve winning odds. Anyone claiming otherwise is selling something.
- Simulated and backtested results describe the past and model a fair random process; they are experiments, not advice.
- Lottery tickets are a form of entertainment, not an investment. Play within your means.
