Every number was expected about that many times after 177 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, 29, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 7 June 2026 — its closest relative in 177 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 42% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 August 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 37% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 4 repeated (20% expected).

Sum and shape

120

The numbers add up to 120 — the 22th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 148. No two numbers side by side. 31% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

37 had not appeared for 45 draws. A number waits about 12 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 1.0× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as 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 ≈92k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 17,135 winners, 264% more than the 4.7k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more 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.
