Every number was expected about that many times after 642 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 (10, 28, 47) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 16 January 2016 — its closest relative in 642 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (24 February 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 10 repeated (4% expected).

Sum and shape

95

The numbers add up to 95 — the 20th 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

10 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 1.5× 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 ≈3.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 + Mega Ball — 809 winners, 32% more than the 615 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.
