Every number was expected about that many times after 306 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.

Sum and shape

155

The numbers add up to 155 — the 75th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 133. Side-by-side numbers: 35–36, 36–37. 34% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

36 had not appeared for 25 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 20% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈379k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,192 winners, 16% fewer than the 1.4k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
