Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (23, 24, 33, 49) with the draw of 5 December 2011 — its closest relative in 1,082 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 66% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (14 May 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

153

The numbers add up to 153 — the 53th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 150. Side-by-side numbers: 22–23, 23–24. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

33 had not appeared for 20 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 0.9× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 45% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈459k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + XTRA — 7,327 winners, 88% fewer than the 61k 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.
