Every number was expected about that many times after 868 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 (2, 4, 6) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 18 September 2026 — its closest relative in 868 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (20 October 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 5 repeated (5% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

45 had not appeared for 17 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 1.1× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 7% 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 — 9,756 winners, 17% fewer than the 12k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
