Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (30, 34, 42, 44) with the draw of 6 March 2021 — its closest relative in 2,460 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 91% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (20 August 2022): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

42 had not appeared for 19 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 0.7× 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 ≈13M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 of 6 — 5,969 winners, 97% fewer than the 233k 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.
