279times

Every number was expected about that many times after 584 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 5 of 6 numbers (8, 10, 26, 30, 40) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 16 July 2016 — its closest relative in 584 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 3.1% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 May 2019): 10, 30 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

134

The numbers add up to 134 — the 65th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. No two numbers side by side. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

40 had not appeared for 14 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 1.3× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 9% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈2.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 736 winners, 17% more than the 632 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
