123times

Every number was expected about that many times after 639 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

157

The numbers add up to 157 — the 89th 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

26 had not appeared for 9 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 7% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈2.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Mega Ball — 5,985 winners, 9% fewer than the 6.5k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
