Times drawn before — chance expected 80 of each

375times

Every number was expected about that many times after 804 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 (8, 14, 15, 31) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 6 February 2019 — its closest relative in 804 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 84% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (3 July 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

101

The numbers add up to 101 — the 20th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 14–15, 30–31. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

14 had not appeared for 10 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 2.5× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 5% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈4.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 962 winners, 9% more than the 880 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
