From the draw just before (16 May 2018): 17, 25 carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 4 repeated (17% expected).

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

7 had not appeared for 12 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 0.8× 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 ≈268k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Cash Ball — 7,133 winners, 28% more than the 5.6k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more 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.
