Every number was expected about that many times after 646 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 (2, 27, 36) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 11 December 2013 — its closest relative in 646 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (9 March 2016): 2 carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Sum and shape

115

The longest wait in this draw

27 had not appeared for 24 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 0.8× 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.

    • 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 — 12,264 winners, 10% fewer than the 14k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
