Times drawn before — chance expected 32 of each

735times

Every number was expected about that many times after 317 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 (16, 24, 40) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 8 June 2016 — its closest relative in 317 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 November 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

132

The numbers add up to 132 — the 62th 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.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

40 had not appeared for 14 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 16% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈18M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 4,093 winners, 1% more than the 4.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
