97times

Every number was expected about that many times after 54 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 (3, 19, 34) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 14 January 2012 — its closest relative in 54 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 84% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 November 2012): 18 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

113

The numbers add up to 113 — the 35th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 3–4, 18–19, 34–35. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

4 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.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 16% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈7.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,586 winners, 0% more than the 1.6k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
