Every number was expected about that many times after 100 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 (6, 32, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 8 June 2013 — its closest relative in 100 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 97% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (5 October 2013): 37 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

152

The longest wait in this draw

32 had not appeared for 5 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 22% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈4.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,033 winners, 0% more than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
