Times drawn before — chance expected 29 of each

129times

Every number was expected about that many times after 292 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 (11, 31, 36) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 30 April 2016 — its closest relative in 292 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (6 August 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

101

The longest wait in this draw

11 had not appeared for 23 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 →

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈3.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 705 winners, 3% more than the 684 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
