912times

Every number was expected about that many times after 170 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 (1, 5, 16, 34) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 14 January 2012 — its closest relative in 170 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 32% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (7 February 2015): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

34 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 ≈4.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,038 winners, 0% more than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
