Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (13, 28, 29, 40) with the draw of 23 February 2013 — its closest relative in 231 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 41% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 January 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

146

The numbers add up to 146 — the 80th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 27–28, 28–29. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

29 had not appeared for 11 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 16% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 7,280 winners, 13% fewer than the 8.4k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
