365times

Every number was expected about that many times after 680 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 (11, 16, 29, 33) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 19 July 2014 — its closest relative in 680 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 78% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 April 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

24 had not appeared for 20 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 ≈2.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 494 winners, 3% fewer than the 510 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
