Sum and shape

177

The numbers add up to 177 — the 72th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 158. Side-by-side numbers: 28–29, 41–42. 67% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

5 had not appeared for 14 draws. A number waits about 6 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 74% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 5 — 509 winners, 16% fewer than the 607 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
