214times

Every number was expected about that many times after 113 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 (18, 48) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 31 October 2018 — its closest relative in 113 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (12 December 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

16 had not appeared for 23 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 ≈532k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_2_1_b — 3,086 winners, 7% fewer than the 3.3k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
