Every number was expected about that many times after 457 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.

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (9, 20, 47) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 June 2022 — its closest relative in 457 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 57% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (22 July 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 32% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 9 repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

47 had not appeared for 22 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 1.5× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 25% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈10M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 9,107 winners, 47% 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.
