932times

Every number was expected about that many times after 382 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 (3, 29, 32, 36) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 15 February 2017 — its closest relative in 382 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 58% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 June 2017): 3 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 9 repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

157

The numbers add up to 157 — the 89th 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

17 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 24% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈2.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 533 winners, 2% more than the 522 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
