Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (10, 13, 20, 40) with the draw of 30 July 2015 — its closest relative in 2,224 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 89% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (27 December 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

40 had not appeared for 13 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 1.1× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 39% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈13M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 of 6 — 5,937 winners, 97% fewer than the 227k 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.
