Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (4, 16, 20) with the draw of 28 September 2020 — its closest relative in 3,922 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 January 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

108

The longest wait in this draw

36 had not appeared for 11 draws. A number waits about 8 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 3% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈183k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 1,730 winners, 3% fewer than the 1.8k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
