Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (14, 15, 27, 37) with the draw of 27 February 2012 — its closest relative in 1,622 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 80% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (4 May 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

14 had not appeared for 20 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 58% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈28M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 5 of 18 — 9,109 winners, 1645% more than the 522 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.
