Every number was expected about that many times after 1,117 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 (18, 28, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 13 May 2015 — its closest relative in 1,117 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

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

Sum and shape

139

The numbers add up to 139 — the 73th 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.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

38 had not appeared for 31 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 10% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Mega Ball — 4,885 winners, 10% fewer than the 5.4k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
