531times

Every number was expected about that many times after 337 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, 31, 32, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 16 May 2015 — its closest relative in 337 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 53% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 January 2017): 32 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 5 repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

115

The numbers add up to 115 — the 38th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 1–2, 31–32. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

2 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 0.8× 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.

    The rings take the ≈5.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,269 winners, 1% fewer than the 1.3k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
