Every number was expected about that many times after 366 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 (16, 17, 38, 39) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 4 February 2017 — its closest relative in 366 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 56% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (22 April 2017): 16 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

147

The numbers add up to 147 — the 81th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 16–17, 38–39. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

12 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.

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 20% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈2.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 594 winners, 1% fewer than the 599 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
