Every number was expected about that many times after 433 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 (17, 20, 23) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 11 August 2010 — its closest relative in 433 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 92% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (22 February 2014): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 23 repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

20 had not appeared for 61 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 2.9× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 2% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈3.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 + Mega Ball — 823 winners, 31% more than the 626 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
