Times drawn before — chance expected 34 of each

530times

Every number was expected about that many times after 336 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 (9, 29, 32, 40) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 28 May 2016 — its closest relative in 336 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 53% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (7 January 2017): 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. No two numbers side by side. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

29 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 23% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈3.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 827 winners, 0% fewer than the 827 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
