Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (13, 14, 23) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 26 January 2022 — its closest relative in 2,213 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 September 2022): 11 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

95

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

13 had not appeared for 20 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 ≈1.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 17,800 winners, 9% more than the 16k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
