Every number was expected about that many times after 91 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 (5, 21, 27, 30) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 7 April 2012 — its closest relative in 91 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 19% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (3 August 2013): 23 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

27 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 ≈6.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,394 winners, 0% more than the 1.4k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
