Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (14, 40, 45, 46) with the draw of 25 September 2014 — its closest relative in 1,252 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 71% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (30 December 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

45 had not appeared for 27 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 64% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈411k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + XTRA — 6,837 winners, 87% fewer than the 54k 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.
