Stars · a separate 1-of-14 machine

Times drawn before — chance expected 104 of each

697times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,451 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 (19, 24, 27, 35) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 28 October 2017 — its closest relative in 1,451 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 35% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (22 January 2019): 17 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

122

The numbers add up to 122 — the 81th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 100. No two numbers side by side. 44% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

27 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 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 ≈1.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 1,046 winners, 4% more than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
