Every number was expected about that many times after 200 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 (17, 19, 35) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 30 August 2014 — its closest relative in 200 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (5 September 2015): 19, 35 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

145

The numbers add up to 145 — the 79th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 16–17, 34–35. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

24 had not appeared for 27 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 ≈4.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,051 winners, 0% more than the 1.1k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
