Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (17, 36, 38) with the draw of 24 August 2016 — its closest relative in 769 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (13 May 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

186

The numbers add up to 186 — the 86th 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

36 had not appeared for 20 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 62% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Bonus — 50,390 winners, 8% fewer than the 55k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
