Every number was expected about that many times after 647 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, 20, 39) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 10 January 2014 — its closest relative in 647 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 April 2014): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

132

The numbers add up to 132 — the 90th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 100. No two numbers side by side. 44% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

34 had not appeared for 29 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 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 4% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus Ball — 7,243 winners, 16% fewer than the 8.7k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
