Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (8, 10, 33) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 23 October 2021 — its closest relative in 526 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 62% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

33 had not appeared for 36 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 ≈11M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 15,859 winners, 14% fewer than the 18k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
