Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (3, 28, 29) with the draw of 26 October 2016 — its closest relative in 347 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 February 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

133

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

5 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 0.8× 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 ≈4.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Bonus — 466 winners, 9% fewer than the 512 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
