Every number was expected about that many times after 1,820 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 (18, 27, 35) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 3 June 2020 — its closest relative in 1,820 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (28 October 2020): 36 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

147

The longest wait in this draw

18 had not appeared for 13 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 0.6× 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 ≈1.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 751 winners, 15% fewer than the 883 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
