Every number was expected about that many times after 707 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 (8, 31, 40) with the draw of 13 June 2015 — its closest relative in 707 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (8 October 2016): 42 carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

196

The numbers add up to 196 — the 92th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 150. No two numbers side by side. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

28 had not appeared for 27 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 51% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 3,592 winners, 14% fewer than the 4.2k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
