Every number was expected about that many times after 392 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 (30, 38, 45) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 29 July 2020 — its closest relative in 392 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 81% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (14 August 2021): 45 carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 3 repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

50 had not appeared for 19 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 14% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈367k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_2_1_b — 2,101 winners, 8% fewer than the 2.3k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
