Every number was expected about that many times after 211 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 (8, 16, 26) and 0 of 2 stars with the draw of 9 May 2017 — its closest relative in 211 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 64% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 October 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 3, 11 repeated (32% expected).

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

35 had not appeared for 43 draws. A number waits about 10 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 1.3× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 5% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈21M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus 2 Bonus Balls — 2,481 winners, 65% more than the 1.5k 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.
