Times drawn before — chance expected 98 of each

1101times

Every number was expected about that many times after 977 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 (19, 21, 34, 35) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 14 December 2019 — its closest relative in 977 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 89% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (1 March 2023): 34, 35 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 1 repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

145

The longest wait in this draw

11 had not appeared for 8 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 20% of the jackpot.
