Every number was expected about that many times after 86 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 6 numbers (34, 39) with the draw of 27 April 2016 — its closest relative in 86 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (3 August 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 49% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

53 had not appeared for 28 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 0.3× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 92% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈8.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 0 winners, 100% fewer than the 871k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less 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.
