Every number was expected about that many times after 853 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 5 numbers (31, 34, 40) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 August 2025 — its closest relative in 853 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (28 August 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (5% expected).

Sum and shape

135

The numbers add up to 135 — the 59th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 128. No two numbers side by side. 35% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

16 had not appeared for 8 draws. A number waits about 10 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 9% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈2.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 8,884 winners, 22% fewer than the 11k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
