920times

Every number was expected about that many times after 315 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 5 of 6 numbers (15, 19, 22, 23, 30) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 6 October 2012 — its closest relative in 315 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 1.7% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (26 October 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

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: 22–23. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

36 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.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 0.9× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 15% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈12M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 2,648 winners, 1% fewer than the 2.7k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
