Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (5, 13, 39) and 0 of 2 stars with the draw of 16 July 2019 — its closest relative in 484 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 90% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (14 May 2021): 38 carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (32% expected).

Sum and shape

135

The numbers add up to 135 — the 59th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 128. Side-by-side numbers: 38–39, 39–40. 35% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

39 had not appeared for 21 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 15% of the jackpot.

  • Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈2.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: rang13 — 170,170 winners, 42% more than the 120k 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.
