Every number was expected about that many times after 7 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 2 of 5 numbers (7, 25) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 25 November 2017 — its closest relative in 7 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 38% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (6 December 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

2 had not appeared for 7 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 3.4× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 3% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈529k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 2,559 winners, 29% more than the 2.0k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
