Times drawn before — chance expected 130 of each

5139times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,302 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 (5, 12, 29, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 14 August 2024 — its closest relative in 1,302 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 95% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 April 2026): 29 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

151

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

33 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 24% of the jackpot.
