Times drawn before — chance expected 81 of each

378times

Every number was expected about that many times after 811 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, 23, 29, 40) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 7 October 2020 — its closest relative in 811 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 84% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (28 July 2021): 6, 8 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

140

The numbers add up to 140 — the 73th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. No two numbers side by side. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

34 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 →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 16% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈5.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,168 winners, 5% more than the 1.1k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
