Every number was expected about that many times after 433 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 (11, 15, 35) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 2 April 2011 — its closest relative in 433 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 November 2012): 31 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

118

The longest wait in this draw

11 had not appeared for 20 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 0.9× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 2% 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 — 15,320 winners, 13% fewer than the 18k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
