Times drawn before — chance expected 41 of each

140times

Every number was expected about that many times after 413 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 3 of 6 numbers (20, 23, 35) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 8 April 2017 — its closest relative in 413 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (4 October 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

116

The longest wait in this draw

23 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.

    The rings take the ≈4.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,099 winners, 2% more than the 1.1k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
