Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (7, 15, 18, 32) with the draw of 24 December 2011 — its closest relative in 715 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 80% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (22 August 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number.

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

125

The numbers add up to 125 — the 52th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. No two numbers side by side. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

15 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.

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 22% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈7.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Bonus — 944 winners, 3% more than the 920 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
