Every number was expected about that many times after 15 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 3 of 6 numbers (13, 27, 36) with the draw of 31 December 2011 — its closest relative in 15 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 40% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 February 2012): 7 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

139

The longest wait in this draw

27 had not appeared for 7 draws. A number waits about 7 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 23% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈9.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 21,969 winners, 11% more than the 20k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
