Every number was expected about that many times after 735 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 (29, 31, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 5 November 2016 — its closest relative in 735 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (14 January 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Sum and shape

139

The longest wait in this draw

37 had not appeared for 18 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 1.0× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 5% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈3.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 + Mega Ball — 700 winners, 12% fewer than the 797 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
