Every number was expected about that many times after 212 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 (10, 18, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 4 July 2015 — its closest relative in 212 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (31 October 2015): 37 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

134

The numbers add up to 134 — the 65th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 17–18, 37–38. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

10 had not appeared for 22 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 19% of the jackpot.
