1112times

Every number was expected about that many times after 233 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 3 of 5 numbers (23, 34, 43) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 9 March 2011 — its closest relative in 233 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 74% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (24 March 2012): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Sum and shape

158

The numbers add up to 158 — the 90th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 120. No two numbers side by side. 37% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

23 had not appeared for 19 draws. A number waits about 9 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 10% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈5.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 24,788 winners, 16% fewer than the 29k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
