Every number was expected about that many times after 643 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 4 of 6 numbers (12, 30, 34, 52) with the draw of 9 November 2016 — its closest relative in 643 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 26% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (4 December 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 49% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

217

The numbers add up to 217 — the 82th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 180. Side-by-side numbers: 30–31. 43% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

30 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 77% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈6.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 0 winners, 100% fewer than the 586k 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.
