Every number was expected about that many times after 2,975 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, 18, 28, 29) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 23 October 2019 — its closest relative in 2,975 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 59% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (12 May 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

96

The longest wait in this draw

18 had not appeared for 12 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 ≈896k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 12,000 winners, 48% more than the 8.1k 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.
