Every number was expected about that many times after 428 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 (18, 24, 33) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 7 July 2012 — its closest relative in 428 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (7 November 2012): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

31 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 2% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 796 winners, 6% fewer than the 845 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
