Every number was expected about that many times after 904 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 6 numbers (2, 7, 8, 26) with the draw of 4 February 2012 — its closest relative in 904 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 65% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (12 December 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 58% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

7 had not appeared for 15 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 4.3× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 8% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈709k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 1,102 winners, 36% more than the 813 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.
