Times drawn before — chance expected 92 of each

683times

Every number was expected about that many times after 923 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 (30, 32, 35, 39) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 8 April 2017 — its closest relative in 923 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 87% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (24 August 2022): 30 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

169

The numbers add up to 169 — the 96th 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.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

12 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.

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.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈5.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,162 winners, 1% fewer than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
