Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (22, 23, 28) with the draw of 7 November 2015 — its closest relative in 619 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (12 March 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 63% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

30 had not appeared for 13 draws. A number waits about 7 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 26% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈264k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 7,189 winners, 0% more than the 7.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
