Sum and shape

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

40 had not appeared for 11 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 1.5× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 3% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Mega Ball — 12,761 winners, 14% more than the 11k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
