775times

Every number was expected about that many times after 741 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 (18, 25, 46) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 22 July 2020 — its closest relative in 741 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 96% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (26 February 2024): 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

142

The numbers add up to 142 — the 61th 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.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

46 had not appeared for 14 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 11% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈302k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 943 winners, 16% fewer than the 1.1k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
