Every number was expected about that many times after 1,490 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 3 of 5 numbers (6, 28, 35) with the draw of 13 January 2023 — its closest relative in 1,490 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

21 had not appeared for 13 draws. A number waits about 8 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 2% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈52k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 120 winners, 77% fewer than the 532 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.
