From the draw just before (24 February 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 57% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

155

The numbers add up to 155 — the 59th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 147. Side-by-side numbers: 30–31, 31–32. 50% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

30 had not appeared for 18 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 52% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈246k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 0 winners, 100% fewer than the 4.6k 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.
