Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (17, 35, 44) with the draw of 20 December 2023 — its closest relative in 1,543 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (12 October 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

171

The longest wait in this draw

44 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 55% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈3.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Gold Ball Jackpot — 1 winners, 100% fewer than the 225k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
