Every number was expected about that many times after 531 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 (18, 26, 41) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 3 March 2022 — its closest relative in 531 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 95% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 April 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

126

The numbers add up to 126 — the 57th 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

18 had not appeared for 8 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 ≈2.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus Ball — 16,894 winners, 6% more than the 16k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
