Every number was expected about that many times after 700 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 (20, 22, 41) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 30 March 2011 — its closest relative in 700 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (14 September 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Sum and shape

133

The numbers add up to 133 — the 66th 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

16 had not appeared for 33 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 0.7× 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 ≈2.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 + Mega Ball — 522 winners, 10% fewer than the 581 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
