Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (9, 27, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 30 October 2018 — its closest relative in 1,494 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (6 April 2019): 8 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

38 had not appeared for 8 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 1.3× 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 ≈1.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 7,770 winners, 25% fewer than the 10k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
