381times

Every number was expected about that many times after 822 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 (3, 27, 33, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 9 July 2016 — its closest relative in 822 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 84% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (4 September 2021): 33, 35 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

171

The numbers add up to 171 — the 96th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 35–36, 36–37. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

37 had not appeared for 28 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 ≈3.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 829 winners, 2% more than the 814 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
