Every number was expected about that many times after 250 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 (11, 17, 44) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 22 September 2010 — its closest relative in 250 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 76% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (23 May 2012): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Sum and shape

157

The numbers add up to 157 — the 89th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 120. Side-by-side numbers: 44–45. 37% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

44 had not appeared for 45 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 9% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 469 winners, 17% fewer than the 567 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
