Every number was expected about that many times after 1,214 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 (29, 30, 33) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 22 February 2017 — its closest relative in 1,214 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 November 2017): 30 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

145

The numbers add up to 145 — the 97th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 100. Side-by-side numbers: 26–27, 29–30. 44% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

29 had not appeared for 13 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less 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 ≈1.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 680 winners, 11% fewer than the 765 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
