Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (5, 9, 16, 42) with the draw of 9 September 2017 — its closest relative in 1,574 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 79% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 March 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

35 had not appeared for 14 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 1.4× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 33% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈21M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 of 6 — 9,490 winners, 97% fewer than the 366k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less 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.
