Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (12, 22, 26) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 23 December 2016 — its closest relative in 1,186 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (30 April 2018): 33 carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (17% expected).

Sum and shape

121

The numbers add up to 121 — the 92th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 90. No two numbers side by side. 48% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

22 had not appeared for 16 draws. A number waits about 7 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 1% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈221k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Cash Ball — 5,599 winners, 22% more than the 4.6k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
