731times

Every number was expected about that many times after 308 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 (24, 30, 36) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 15 June 2016 — its closest relative in 308 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (1 October 2016): 11, 30 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

150

The numbers add up to 150 — the 84th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 11–12, 36–37. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

12 had not appeared for 26 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 17% of the jackpot.
