Every number was expected about that many times after 729 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 (36, 48, 54) with the draw of 22 June 2022 — its closest relative in 729 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

Sum and shape

243

The numbers add up to 243 — the 94th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 180. No two numbers side by side. 43% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

51 had not appeared for 39 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 85% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈5.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 0 winners, 100% fewer than the 485k 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.
