693times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,045 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 (14, 24, 35, 36) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 29 March 2023 — its closest relative in 1,045 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 90% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 October 2023): 35 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

133

The numbers add up to 133 — the 64th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 35–36. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

24 had not appeared for 14 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.
