Every number was expected about that many times after 3,045 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 4 of 5 numbers (5, 11, 16, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 22 March 2025 — its closest relative in 3,045 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 60% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 September 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

5 had not appeared for 18 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 1.0× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as 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 ≈1.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 15,793 winners, 31% more than the 12k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more 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.
