835times

Every number was expected about that many times after 393 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 (14, 40, 43) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 22 July 2021 — its closest relative in 393 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 90% likelihood somewhere in that history.

Sum and shape

152

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

28 had not appeared for 25 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 0.7× 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 ≈2.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 9,910 winners, 7% fewer than the 11k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
