Every number was expected about that many times after 353 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 (17, 42, 43) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 18 November 2020 — its closest relative in 353 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 78% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (31 March 2021): 17, 42 carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

197

The numbers add up to 197 — the 98th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 133. Side-by-side numbers: 42–43, 47–48. 34% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

48 had not appeared for 31 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 ≈475k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,527 winners, 14% fewer than the 1.8k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
