Every number was expected about that many times after 901 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 (5, 31, 32, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 28 October 2015 — its closest relative in 901 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 23% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (14 November 2015): 5 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

123

The numbers add up to 123 — the 82th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 100. Side-by-side numbers: 31–32. 44% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

17 had not appeared for 14 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 0.6× 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 ≈1.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 964 winners, 17% fewer than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
