Every number was expected about that many times after 859 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 (2, 31, 50) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 5 January 2024 — its closest relative in 859 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (18 September 2026): 2 carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (5% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

28 had not appeared for 32 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 0.9× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 8% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈3.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 8,512 winners, 35% fewer than the 13k 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.
