Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (3, 9, 15, 17) with the draw of 25 October 2019 — its closest relative in 1,743 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 82% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 September 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

15 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 3.8× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 12% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈17M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 of 6 — 8,185 winners, 97% fewer than the 306k 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.
