Every number was expected about that many times after 728 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, 18, 35) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 14 November 2015 — its closest relative in 728 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (21 December 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Sum and shape

125

The numbers add up to 125 — the 56th 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

18 had not appeared for 25 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 ≈3.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 18,968 winners, 5% fewer than the 20k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
