Every number was expected about that many times after 245 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 (14, 15, 18) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 3 February 2016 — its closest relative in 245 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (24 February 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

14 had not appeared for 7 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 ≈4.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,028 winners, 3% more than the 996 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
