Every number was expected about that many times after 370 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 (4, 9, 15, 33) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 28 March 2015 — its closest relative in 370 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 56% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (6 May 2017): 4 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

3 had not appeared for 18 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 1.5× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 9% of the jackpot.
