Every number was expected about that many times after 257 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, 22, 30) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 2 January 2016 — its closest relative in 257 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 44% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (6 April 2016): 22 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

102

The longest wait in this draw

30 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.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 1.3× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 10% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈7.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,591 winners, 2% more than the 1.6k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
