541times

Every number was expected about that many times after 422 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 (8, 13, 25) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 18 January 2017 — its closest relative in 422 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (4 November 2017): 25 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

105

The longest wait in this draw

8 had not appeared for 24 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 ≈6.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,491 winners, 3% more than the 1.4k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
