Every number was expected about that many times after 93 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 2 of 5 numbers (24, 42) and 0 of 2 stars with the draw of 2 June 2017 — its closest relative in 93 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 August 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (32% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

152

The numbers add up to 152 — the 78th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 128. No two numbers side by side. 35% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

2 had not appeared for 28 draws. A number waits about 10 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 12% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈33M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus 2 Bonus Balls — 1,318 winners, 43% fewer than the 2.3k 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.
