Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (12, 13, 56) with the draw of 17 September 2016 — its closest relative in 712 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (12 August 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 49% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

217

The numbers add up to 217 — the 82th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 180. Side-by-side numbers: 12–13, 54–55, 55–56. 43% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

13 had not appeared for 20 draws. A number waits about 10 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 83% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 447 winners, 20% fewer than the 561 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
