490times

Every number was expected about that many times after 946 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 (2, 23, 24, 34) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 5 January 2019 — its closest relative in 946 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 88% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (12 November 2022): 13, 40 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

136

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

23 had not appeared for 15 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 25% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈6.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,400 winners, 3% more than the 1.4k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
