Every number was expected about that many times after 541 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 December 2022 — its closest relative in 541 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 96% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (20 May 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

148

The longest wait in this draw

31 had not appeared for 39 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 ≈2.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 9,788 winners, 5% fewer than the 10k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
