Every number was expected about that many times after 2,540 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 (4, 13, 17, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 6 June 2015 — its closest relative in 2,540 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 53% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (10 April 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

106

The numbers add up to 106 — the 59th 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.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

4 had not appeared for 8 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 4% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 966 winners, 14% more than the 845 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
