5114times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,131 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 (8, 36, 45) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 17 September 2025 — its closest relative in 1,131 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (24 August 2026): 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

131

The numbers add up to 131 — the 48th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 133. Side-by-side numbers: 36–37. 34% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

37 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 12% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈209k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 2 + Star Ball xB — 574 winners, 95% fewer than the 12k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
