Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (23, 36, 42) with the draw of 12 October 2019 — its closest relative in 514 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (9 September 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 49% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

195

The numbers add up to 195 — the 64th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 180. Side-by-side numbers: 36–37. 43% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

52 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 83% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈10M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 0 winners, 100% fewer than the 997k 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.
