Every number was expected about that many times after 456 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

From the draw just before (14 May 2014): 54 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

28 had not appeared for 25 draws. A number waits about 9 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 69% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈215k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 21,974 winners, 664% more than the 2.9k 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.
