Every number was expected about that many times after 3,051 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 (18, 21, 24, 34) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 27 July 2013 — its closest relative in 3,051 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 60% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (22 September 2026): 18, 34 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

105

The numbers add up to 105 — the 57th 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

24 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 0.9× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 2% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈854k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 10,353 winners, 34% more than the 7.7k 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.
