Every number was expected about that many times after 110 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 (33, 40) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 3 November 2018 — its closest relative in 110 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (1 December 2018): 40 carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

145

The numbers add up to 145 — the 64th 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

9 had not appeared for 19 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 12% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈535k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,879 winners, 6% fewer than the 2.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
