Every number was expected about that many times after 429 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 2 of 5 numbers (27, 36) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 27 October 2021 — its closest relative in 429 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (22 December 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

152

The numbers add up to 152 — the 72th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 133. No two numbers side by side. 34% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

38 had not appeared for 30 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 16% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈415k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,492 winners, 4% fewer than the 1.6k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
