Times drawn before — chance expected 117 of each

3111times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,173 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 (12, 13, 21, 34) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 22 April 2023 — its closest relative in 1,173 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 93% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 January 2025): 34 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

144

The numbers add up to 144 — the 78th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 12–13. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

38 had not appeared for 17 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 26% of the jackpot.
