Times drawn before — chance expected 124 of each

8129times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,235 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 (16, 24, 25, 31) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 19 February 2020 — its closest relative in 1,235 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 94% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (20 August 2025): 16 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

126

The numbers add up to 126 — the 54th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 16–17, 24–25. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

25 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 1.2× 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.
