Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (9, 19, 42) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 January 2014 — its closest relative in 643 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (27 February 2016): 10 carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

98

The numbers add up to 98 — the 22th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 120. Side-by-side numbers: 9–10, 18–19. 37% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

19 had not appeared for 20 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 1.4× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 4% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈2.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 14,900 winners, 11% more than the 13k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
