Every number was expected about that many times after 358 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 (4, 41, 44, 45) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 3 February 2018 — its closest relative in 358 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 3.2% likelihood somewhere in that history.

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

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

176

The numbers add up to 176 — the 91th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 133. Side-by-side numbers: 41–42, 44–45. 34% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

44 had not appeared for 15 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 ≈460k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_2_1_b — 2,579 winners, 10% fewer than the 2.9k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
