Every number was expected about that many times after 824 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 5 numbers (5, 21, 24) with the draw of 25 November 2015 — its closest relative in 824 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (6 January 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

109

The numbers add up to 109 — the 80th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 90. No two numbers side by side. 48% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

33 had not appeared for 12 draws. A number waits about 7 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 1% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈106k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Cash Ball — 2,820 winners, 28% more than the 2.2k 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.
