Every number was expected about that many times after 214 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 (28, 37, 40) and 1 of 2 stars with the draw of 9 December 2016 — its closest relative in 214 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 64% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (12 October 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (32% expected).

Sum and shape

162

The longest wait in this draw

42 had not appeared for 13 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 13% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈17M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 1,120 winners, 10% fewer than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
