872times

Every number was expected about that many times after 739 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 (6, 7, 15, 19) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 23 September 2017 — its closest relative in 739 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 81% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (18 November 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 8 repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

15 had not appeared for 21 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 →

    The rings take the ≈5.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,169 winners, 2% fewer than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
