Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (18, 24, 42) with the draw of 8 December 2019 — its closest relative in 1,555 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (27 February 2020): 24 carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

193

The longest wait in this draw

45 had not appeared for 6 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 57% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈34M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 5 of 18 — 11,042 winners, 1650% more than the 631 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.
