Every number was expected about that many times after 328 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 4 of 5 numbers (8, 17, 25, 44) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 19 June 2019 — its closest relative in 328 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 2.9% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 January 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

98

The longest wait in this draw

44 had not appeared for 45 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 1.5× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 6% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈402k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,754 winners, 16% more than the 1.5k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
