Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (11, 12, 17) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 29 September 2020 — its closest relative in 2,078 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (22 January 2022): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

21 had not appeared for 11 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 2.2× 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 ≈948k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 818 winners, 24% more than the 660 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
