Every number was expected about that many times after 1,408 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 (17, 20, 27, 31) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 26 August 2016 — its closest relative in 1,408 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 34% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (7 November 2018): nothing 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

20 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 0.8× 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 ≈1.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 832 winners, 8% fewer than the 909 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
