Every number was expected about that many times after 1,290 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 6 numbers (12, 22, 24) with the draw of 28 October 2021 — its closest relative in 1,290 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (12 May 2022): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

5 had not appeared for 24 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 3.5× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 13% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 2,364 winners, 40% more than the 1.7k 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.
