Times drawn before — chance expected 92 of each

682times

Every number was expected about that many times after 919 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 (23, 24, 28, 30) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 10 April 2021 — its closest relative in 919 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 87% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (10 August 2022): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

30 had not appeared for 8 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    The rings take the ≈5.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,148 winners, 1% fewer than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
