Every number was expected about that many times after 189 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 (15, 40) and 1 of 2 stars with the draw of 29 June 2018 — its closest relative in 189 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 July 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (32% expected).

Sum and shape

146

The numbers add up to 146 — the 71th 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 40 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 11% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈26M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 plus Bonus Ball — 505 winners, 40% fewer than the 840 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.
