Every number was expected about that many times after 200 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 5 numbers (4, 16, 46) and 0 of 2 stars with the draw of 23 December 2016 — its closest relative in 200 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 62% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (24 August 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 12 repeated (32% expected).

Sum and shape

140

The numbers add up to 140 — the 65th 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

32 had not appeared for 23 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 ≈11M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 713,072 winners, 39% more than the 513k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more 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.
