Every number was expected about that many times after 642 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 6 numbers (38, 43, 50) with the draw of 3 June 2015 — its closest relative in 642 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (24 February 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

213

The numbers add up to 213 — the 90th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 165. No two numbers side by side. 46% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

43 had not appeared for 16 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 77% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈204k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 16,255 winners, 495% more than the 2.7k 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.
