Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (21, 29, 36) with the draw of 7 November 2009 — its closest relative in 478 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (24 February 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 60% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

168

The numbers add up to 168 — the 83th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 138. Side-by-side numbers: 35–36. 53% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

29 had not appeared for 24 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 43% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈38M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 3 — 868 winners, 21% fewer than the 1.1k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
