766times

Every number was expected about that many times after 655 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 (22, 24, 30, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 2 January 2016 — its closest relative in 655 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 77% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (29 January 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

22 had not appeared for 17 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 ≈6.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,622 winners, 7% more than the 1.5k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
