Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (14, 21, 45) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 10 July 2019 — its closest relative in 1,108 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (12 August 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Sum and shape

140

The numbers add up to 140 — the 74th 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 34 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 ≈2.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Mega Ball — 5,288 winners, 4% fewer than the 5.5k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
