326times

Every number was expected about that many times after 255 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 (10, 21, 28) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 30 January 2016 — its closest relative in 255 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (30 March 2016): 13 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

110

The numbers add up to 110 — the 31th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. No two numbers side by side. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

10 had not appeared for 13 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 ≈7.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,745 winners, 4% more than the 1.7k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
