Every number was expected about that many times after 2,054 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 4 of 5 numbers (13, 22, 26, 39) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 June 2013 — its closest relative in 2,054 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 46% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 December 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none 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

9 had not appeared for 14 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 ≈962k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 9,392 winners, 8% more than the 8.7k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
