296times

Every number was expected about that many times after 673 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 (6, 20, 30) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 4 September 2019 — its closest relative in 673 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (1 April 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

90

The numbers add up to 90 — the 11th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 10–11. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

6 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.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 1.9× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 7% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈3.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 741 winners, 11% more than the 670 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
