Every number was expected about that many times after 189 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

108

The longest wait in this draw

30 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 5% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈29k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 2,367 winners, 0% more than the 2.4k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
