Every number was expected about that many times after 482 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.

Sum and shape

102

The numbers add up to 102 — the 27th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 120. Side-by-side numbers: 12–13, 27–28. 37% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

12 had not appeared for 12 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 1.6× 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 ≈2.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Mega Ball — 8,210 winners, 13% more than the 7.3k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
