Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (2, 53, 54) with the draw of 7 July 2018 — its closest relative in 816 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 August 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 49% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

242

The numbers add up to 242 — the 94th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 180. Side-by-side numbers: 53–54, 54–55. 43% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

42 had not appeared for 12 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 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 88% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 10,911 winners, 2% fewer than the 11k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
