24times

Every number was expected about that many times after 35 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 4 of 6 numbers (7, 11, 12, 15) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 21 April 2012 — its closest relative in 35 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 7.6% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (7 July 2012): 11 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

4 had not appeared for 11 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 ≈5.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,206 winners, 0% more than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
