Every number was expected about that many times after 254 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 5 numbers (6, 34, 37) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 17 August 2020 — its closest relative in 254 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 77% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (19 August 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

112

The numbers add up to 112 — the 39th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 120. No two numbers side by side. 37% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

16 had not appeared for 36 draws. A number waits about 9 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 7% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈2.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 1,363 winners, 11% more than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
