Stars · a separate 1-of-10 machine

Times drawn before — chance expected 112 of each

9107times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,121 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 5 of 6 numbers (2, 4, 25, 30, 40) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 2 December 2020 — its closest relative in 1,121 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 5.8% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 July 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

111

The numbers add up to 111 — the 32th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. No two numbers side by side. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

4 had not appeared for 24 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 1.3× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 10% of the jackpot.
