Every number was expected about that many times after 683 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 (3, 6, 15) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 11 October 2014 — its closest relative in 683 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 July 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

20 had not appeared for 21 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 ≈2.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 14,838 winners, 19% more than the 12k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
