Every number was expected about that many times after 831 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 (1, 13, 28, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 5 October 2013 — its closest relative in 831 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 85% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (6 October 2021): 37 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

117

The numbers add up to 117 — the 41th 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

13 had not appeared for 18 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 24% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈10M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 2,245 winners, 1% fewer than the 2.3k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
