Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (21, 25, 33) with the draw of 9 July 2016 — its closest relative in 424 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 February 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 60% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

174

The longest wait in this draw

25 had not appeared for 10 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 34% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈103M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 3 — 2,450 winners, 17% fewer than the 3.0k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
