Every number was expected about that many times after 700 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 5 of 6 numbers (14, 16, 25, 45, 47) with the draw of 16 March 2013 — its closest relative in 700 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 1.3% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (14 September 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

45 had not appeared for 13 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

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 ≈4.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 4,298 winners, 8% fewer than the 4.7k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
