Every number was expected about that many times after 88 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.

Its nearest twin

Shares 2 of 5 numbers (61, 64) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 9 July 2016 — its closest relative in 88 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 97% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (6 August 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 32% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 12 repeated (4% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

271

The numbers add up to 271 — the 99th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 175. No two numbers side by side. 27% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

56 had not appeared for 13 draws. A number waits about 14 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 42% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈11M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 14,786 winners, 25% fewer than the 20k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
