Every number was expected about that many times after 662 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 (14, 18, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 20 January 2016 — its closest relative in 662 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

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

Sum and shape

96

The numbers add up to 96 — 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.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

20 had not appeared for 26 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 1.2× 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 ≈3.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 15,832 winners, 14% fewer than the 18k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
