Sum and shape

240

The numbers add up to 240 — the 93th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 175. Side-by-side numbers: 44–45, 45–46. 27% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

44 had not appeared for 31 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 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 64% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈12M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 16,805 winners, 22% fewer than the 21k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
