74times

Every number was expected about that many times after 198 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 3 of 5 numbers (28, 67, 69) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 21 September 2016 — its closest relative in 198 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 30% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (26 August 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 32% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Sum and shape

226

The numbers add up to 226 — the 87th 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.

The longest wait in this draw

67 had not appeared for 27 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 0.9× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 38% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈12M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 16,000 winners, 25% fewer than the 21k 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.
