Every number was expected about that many times after 575 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 (4, 24, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 9 February 2019 — its closest relative in 575 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (24 April 2019): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

29 had not appeared for 24 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 936 winners, 1% more than the 926 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
