Every number was expected about that many times after 326 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 (12, 24, 26, 34) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 17 October 2015 — its closest relative in 326 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 52% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (3 December 2016): 10 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

125

The longest wait in this draw

34 had not appeared for 22 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 1.1× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 12% of the jackpot.

    • 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 — 716 winners, 4% more than the 687 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
