Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (23, 31, 41) with the draw of 12 March 2021 — its closest relative in 840 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 May 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 63% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

38 had not appeared for 19 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 25% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.5B lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 6 of 18 — 282 winners against 282 expected — with counts this small, chance alone does that.
