Every number was expected about that many times after 1,180 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 (7, 21, 33) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 6 May 2017 — its closest relative in 1,180 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

21 had not appeared for 16 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 1.2× as often as an average ticket — more popular than 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 ≈1.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 1,447 winners, 12% more than the 1.3k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
