950times

Every number was expected about that many times after 493 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 (5, 14, 18, 19) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 16 December 2015 — its closest relative in 493 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 67% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 July 2018): 18 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

106

The numbers add up to 106 — the 26th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 17–18, 18–19. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

5 had not appeared for 12 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 ≈4.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,034 winners, 3% more than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
