210times

Every number was expected about that many times after 91 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 (6, 9) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 15 August 2018 — its closest relative in 91 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (26 September 2018): 28 carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

6 had not appeared for 13 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 1.6× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 5% 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 — 2,187 winners, 18% more than the 1.8k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
