Every number was expected about that many times after 377 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 (2, 27, 29) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 17 December 2011 — its closest relative in 377 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 July 2012): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

14 had not appeared for 18 draws. A number waits about 8 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 1.7× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 1% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈990k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 12,170 winners, 36% more than the 9.0k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
