Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (9, 10, 29) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 11 January 2020 — its closest relative in 1,660 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

Sum and shape

90

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

20 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 2.3× 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 ≈1.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 1,048 winners, 15% more than the 914 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
