Times drawn before — chance expected 87 of each

2108times

Every number was expected about that many times after 867 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 (15, 27, 32, 33) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 26 October 2013 — its closest relative in 867 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 86% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (9 February 2022): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 2 repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

126

The numbers add up to 126 — the 54th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 32–33. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

8 had not appeared for 9 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.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈5.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,237 winners, 2% more than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
