Every number was expected about that many times after 2,856 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 (10, 14, 20, 26) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 14 September 2016 — its closest relative in 2,856 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 57% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 October 2025): 26 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

14 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 1.9× 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 ≈1.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 1,229 winners, 38% more than the 894 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
