Every number was expected about that many times after 583 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 (17, 27, 43) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 7 June 2021 — its closest relative in 583 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 97% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (14 October 2024): 32 carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

131

The numbers add up to 131 — the 64th 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

12 had not appeared for 7 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 ≈2.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 1,441 winners, 9% more than the 1.3k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
