Times drawn before — chance expected 44 of each

Every number was expected about that many times after 440 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 (1, 2, 8, 26) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 2 August 2017 — its closest relative in 440 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 63% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (6 January 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

57

The longest wait in this draw

26 had not appeared for 16 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 2.7× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 5% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈3.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 817 winners, 18% more than the 691 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
