Every number was expected about that many times after 496 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, 18, 19, 35) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 13 September 2017 — its closest relative in 496 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 67% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (21 July 2018): 10 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

28 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.

    The rings take the ≈3.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 738 winners, 2% more than the 720 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
