Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (37, 40, 42) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 24 February 2024 — its closest relative in 1,530 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (28 August 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Sum and shape

194

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

37 had not appeared for 20 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 0.3× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 20% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈2.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 10,490 winners, 24% fewer than the 14k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
