106times

Every number was expected about that many times after 73 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 3 of 5 numbers (2, 39, 51) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 23 December 2017 — its closest relative in 73 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 27% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 July 2018): 13 carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

143

The numbers add up to 143 — the 62th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 133. Side-by-side numbers: 38–39. 34% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

39 had not appeared for 15 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 19% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈494k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,662 winners, 10% fewer than the 1.9k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
