Every number was expected about that many times after 216 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.

Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (5, 6, 48) with the draw of 23 February 2011 — its closest relative in 216 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 January 2012): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

17 had not appeared for 29 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 52% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈6.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 5,385 winners, 12% fewer than the 6.1k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
