Sum and shape

247

The numbers add up to 247 — the 95th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 175. Side-by-side numbers: 44–45, 63–64. 27% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

45 had not appeared for 30 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 54% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈9.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 9,537 winners, 44% fewer than the 17k 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.
