Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (3, 30, 32) with the draw of 11 August 2018 — its closest relative in 537 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (8 December 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

37 had not appeared for 14 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 ≈5.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Bonus — 727 winners, 6% more than the 684 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
