Every number was expected about that many times after 926 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 (4, 34, 43) with the draw of 8 May 2024 — its closest relative in 926 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (21 August 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 49% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

167

The longest wait in this draw

4 had not appeared for 31 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.
