524times

Every number was expected about that many times after 277 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 (17, 33, 34) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 30 May 2015 — its closest relative in 277 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 June 2016): 36 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

145

The longest wait in this draw

34 had not appeared for 10 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 27% of the jackpot.
