Every number was expected about that many times after 407 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 (41, 50, 57) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 11 March 2017 — its closest relative in 407 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 52% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (28 August 2019): 41, 56 carried over. Chance says 32% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

57 had not appeared for 23 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 ≈9.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 515 winners, 20% fewer than the 643 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
