Times drawn before — chance expected 66 of each

1054times

Every number was expected about that many times after 657 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 (13, 14, 15, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 4 April 2018 — its closest relative in 657 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 77% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (5 February 2020): 15 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

116

The numbers add up to 116 — the 39th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 12–13, 13–14, 14–15. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

38 had not appeared for 11 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 8% of the jackpot.
