Every number was expected about that many times after 279 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 (23, 44, 47) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 28 September 2019 — its closest relative in 279 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 70% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 July 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 1 repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

23 had not appeared for 44 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 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 22% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈388k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_2_1_b — 2,239 winners, 7% fewer than the 2.4k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
