61time

Every number was expected about that many times after 5 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 1 of 5 numbers (22) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 22 November 2017 — its closest relative in 5 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 93% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (29 November 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

193

The numbers add up to 193 — the 97th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 133. No two numbers side by side. 34% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

47 had not appeared for 4 draws. A number waits about 10 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 16% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈563k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,891 winners, 10% fewer than the 2.1k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
