Every number was expected about that many times after 627 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 (2, 35, 39) with the draw of 4 November 2015 — its closest relative in 627 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 January 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

200

The numbers add up to 200 — the 93th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 150. Side-by-side numbers: 43–44. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

43 had not appeared for 26 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 0.3× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 73% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 3,830 winners, 12% fewer than the 4.3k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
