Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (26, 27, 33) with the draw of 6 April 2016 — its closest relative in 663 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (13 August 2016): 33 carried over. Chance says 63% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

150

The numbers add up to 150 — the 76th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 129. Side-by-side numbers: 26–27. 56% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

40 had not appeared for 25 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 21% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈405k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 629 winners, 14% fewer than the 730 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
