Every number was expected about that many times after 86 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.

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

45 had not appeared for 30 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 6% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈98k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 619 winners, 1% fewer than the 626 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
