Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (3, 7, 35) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 12 August 2020 — its closest relative in 1,831 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 November 2020): 35 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

84

The longest wait in this draw

3 had not appeared for 17 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 1.5× 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 ≈1.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus Ball — 14,795 winners, 23% more than the 12k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
