Every number was expected about that many times after 235 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 (16, 35) and 0 of 2 stars with the draw of 5 October 2018 — its closest relative in 235 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 December 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (32% expected).

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

35 had not appeared for 18 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 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 18% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈25M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 1,637,549 winners, 43% more than the 1.1M 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.
