23times

Every number was expected about that many times after 31 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 (9, 20, 27) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 25 February 2012 — its closest relative in 31 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 65% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (9 June 2012): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 2 repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

146

The numbers add up to 146 — the 80th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. No two numbers side by side. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

9 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.

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 17% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈5.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,129 winners, 0% more than the 1.1k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
