Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (1, 5, 7, 22) with the draw of 1 September 2019 — its closest relative in 2,794 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 94% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (20 July 2023): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

22 had not appeared for 26 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 3.5× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 13% 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 — 8,237 winners, 97% fewer than the 303k 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.
