741times

Every number was expected about that many times after 432 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 (10, 11, 37, 39) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 9 March 2013 — its closest relative in 432 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 62% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (9 December 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

137

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

6 had not appeared for 23 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 22% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈3.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 728 winners, 1% more than the 721 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
