47times

Every number was expected about that many times after 98 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 (29, 39, 40) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 20 April 2013 — its closest relative in 98 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 96% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (21 September 2013): 21 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

39 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 26% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈18M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 4,005 winners, 0% more than the 4.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
