Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 5 numbers (7, 18, 28, 31) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 30 November 2011 — its closest relative in 2,829 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 57% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (29 August 2025): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

18 had not appeared for 23 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 2.0× 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 ≈1.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 633 winners, 20% more than the 528 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
