21time

Every number was expected about that many times after 19 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 6 numbers (2, 9, 33) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 11 February 2012 — its closest relative in 19 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 48% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 March 2012): 33 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 2 repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

14 had not appeared for 15 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    The rings take the ≈12M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 2,623 winners, 0% more than the 2.6k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
