Every number was expected about that many times after 336 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 (16, 23, 30) with the draw of 1 October 2016 — its closest relative in 336 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (4 January 2017): 16 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

38 had not appeared for 16 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 17% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈7.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 16,196 winners, 4% more than the 16k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
