Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (15, 16, 44) with the draw of 9 September 2015 — its closest relative in 683 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 July 2016): 15 carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

178

The numbers add up to 178 — the 79th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 150. Side-by-side numbers: 14–15, 15–16, 43–44. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

14 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 58% 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 — 3,826 winners, 13% fewer than the 4.4k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
