Times drawn before — chance expected 32 of each

1027times

Every number was expected about that many times after 322 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, 2, 6, 30) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 7 March 2015 — its closest relative in 322 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 52% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (19 November 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

86

The numbers add up to 86 — the 8th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 1–2, 6–7. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

6 had not appeared for 8 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 1.5× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 8% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈3.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 722 winners, 8% more than the 668 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
