Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (14, 30, 52) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 20 July 2022 — its closest relative in 157 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 25% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (22 August 2022): nothing carried over. Chance says 32% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

38 had not appeared for 19 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 ≈8.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 11,084 winners, 23% fewer than the 14k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
