Every number was expected about that many times after 470 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.

Sum and shape

128

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

30 had not appeared for 12 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 1.0× 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 ≈953k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 549 winners, 17% fewer than the 663 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
