Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (16, 23, 28) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 2 March 2019 — its closest relative in 1,597 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (4 October 2019): 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

16 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 1.7× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 1% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈2.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 20,288 winners, 13% more than the 18k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
