Every number was expected about that many times after 893 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 4 of 5 numbers (2, 10, 36, 39) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 20 October 2010 — its closest relative in 893 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 23% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (28 October 2015): 31 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 11 repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

118

The numbers add up to 118 — the 76th 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.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

2 had not appeared for 11 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 3% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 695 winners, 27% fewer than the 947 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less 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.
