Every number was expected about that many times after 128 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 6 numbers (20, 51, 52) with the draw of 7 December 2011 — its closest relative in 128 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 75% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (7 January 2012): nothing carried over. Chance says 49% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

261

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

56 had not appeared for 35 draws. A number waits about 10 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 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 88% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 688 winners, 6% fewer than the 734 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
