Every number was expected about that many times after 1,674 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 3 of 5 numbers (6, 10, 34) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 11 December 2019 — its closest relative in 1,674 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 February 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 2 repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

109

The numbers add up to 109 — the 64th 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.

The longest wait in this draw

6 had not appeared for 7 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 3% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈832k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 8,302 winners, 10% more than the 7.5k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
