Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (32, 33, 39) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 21 July 2018 — its closest relative in 1,358 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 August 2018): 22, 33 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

39 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 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 5% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈794k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus Ball — 5,045 winners, 14% fewer than the 5.9k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
