Every number was expected about that many times after 695 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 (2, 38, 52) with the draw of 14 May 2016 — its closest relative in 695 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

183

The longest wait in this draw

52 had not appeared for 22 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 68% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈171k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 13,419 winners, 485% more than the 2.3k 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.
