Every number was expected about that many times after 160 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 (22, 32, 43) with the draw of 17 April 2010 — its closest relative in 160 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (21 January 2012): 22, 31 carried over. Chance says 60% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

43 had not appeared for 14 draws. A number waits about 8 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 44% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈39M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 3 — 834 winners, 25% fewer than the 1.1k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less 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.
