Every number was expected about that many times after 374 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 (30, 55) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 22 November 2023 — its closest relative in 374 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (10 January 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 32% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

44 had not appeared for 35 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 53% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈13M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 15,296 winners, 30% fewer than the 22k 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.
