Sum and shape

155

The numbers add up to 155 — the 70th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 138. Side-by-side numbers: 25–26, 26–27. 53% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

27 had not appeared for 8 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 32% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈42M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 3 — 885 winners, 27% fewer than the 1.2k 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.
