Times drawn before — chance expected 32 of each

329times

Every number was expected about that many times after 320 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 (4, 11, 17, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 30 November 2013 — its closest relative in 320 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 51% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (12 November 2016): 4, 32 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

108

The longest wait in this draw

7 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.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈3.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 841 winners, 7% more than the 783 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
