Every number was expected about that many times after 576 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 (7, 17, 32, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 16 November 2016 — its closest relative in 576 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 73% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (27 April 2019): 37 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 2 repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

147

The numbers add up to 147 — the 81th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 16–17, 37–38. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

7 had not appeared for 8 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 24% 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 — 684 winners, 6% more than the 648 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
