Every number was expected about that many times after 475 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 6 numbers (16, 36, 40) with the draw of 30 November 2019 — its closest relative in 475 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 April 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 49% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

188

The numbers add up to 188 — the 57th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 180. Side-by-side numbers: 16–17. 43% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

32 had not appeared for 17 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 84% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈9.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 0 winners, 100% fewer than the 945k 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.
