Every number was expected about that many times after 746 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 (16, 42, 49) with the draw of 17 December 2016 — its closest relative in 746 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (22 February 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

244

The numbers add up to 244 — the 99th 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

42 had not appeared for 18 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 0.3× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 84% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈241k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 18,778 winners, 483% more than the 3.2k 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.
