Times drawn before — chance expected 88 of each

787times

Every number was expected about that many times after 883 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 (4, 13, 27, 36) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 31 December 2011 — its closest relative in 883 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 86% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (6 April 2022): 27 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

143

The numbers add up to 143 — the 77th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 27–28, 35–36. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

36 had not appeared for 12 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 26% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈5.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,281 winners, 1% fewer than the 1.3k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
