575times

Every number was expected about that many times after 700 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 (14, 15, 24) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 8 February 2020 — its closest relative in 700 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (4 July 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 5 repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

153

The numbers add up to 153 — the 86th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 14–15, 31–32. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

37 had not appeared for 29 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 22% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 900 winners, 3% fewer than the 930 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
