323times

Every number was expected about that many times after 307 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 (22, 26, 51) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 22 August 2018 — its closest relative in 307 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 73% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (21 October 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

192

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

50 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 15% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈385k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_2_1_b — 2,113 winners, 12% fewer than the 2.4k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
