Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (9, 41, 58) with the draw of 12 December 2015 — its closest relative in 561 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 March 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 49% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

229

The longest wait in this draw

38 had not appeared for 26 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 87% 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 — 666 winners, 7% fewer than the 716 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
