823times

Every number was expected about that many times after 160 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 (11, 19, 26) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 4 October 2014 — its closest relative in 160 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (29 November 2014): 23 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

21 had not appeared for 12 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 ≈6.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,322 winners, 0% more than the 1.3k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
