Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (6, 16, 42) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 11 April 2015 — its closest relative in 641 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (20 February 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Sum and shape

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

16 had not appeared for 25 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 0.9× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 6% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈2.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 13,811 winners, 11% fewer than the 15k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
