Times drawn before — chance expected 18 of each

1017times

Every number was expected about that many times after 182 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 (9, 25, 35) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 8 November 2014 — its closest relative in 182 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 May 2015): 32 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

156

The longest wait in this draw

35 had not appeared for 16 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 25% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈7.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,576 winners, 0% more than the 1.6k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
