Sum and shape

178

The numbers add up to 178 — the 90th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 138. Side-by-side numbers: 16–17, 38–39. 53% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

16 had not appeared for 14 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 →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 46% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈40M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 3 — 890 winners, 23% fewer than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
