Every number was expected about that many times after 652 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 4 of 6 numbers (1, 5, 20, 34) with the draw of 14 February 2015 — its closest relative in 652 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 77% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 January 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

121

The longest wait in this draw

5 had not appeared for 23 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

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.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈7.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Bonus — 932 winners, 7% fewer than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
