554times

Every number was expected about that many times after 530 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 (22, 32, 40) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 26 September 2018 — its closest relative in 530 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 November 2018): 25 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

134

The longest wait in this draw

32 had not appeared for 6 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 0.9× as often as an average ticket — about as popular as most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 14% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈3.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 686 winners, 3% more than the 663 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
