589times

Every number was expected about that many times after 867 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 (5, 35, 47) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 7 October 2023 — its closest relative in 867 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 December 2024): 5 carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

136

The numbers add up to 136 — the 54th 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

35 had not appeared for 37 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

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈485k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,724 winners, 5% fewer than the 1.8k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
