Times drawn before — chance expected 95 of each

196times

Every number was expected about that many times after 953 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 (5, 7, 19, 36) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 21 November 2020 — its closest relative in 953 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 88% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (7 December 2022): 9 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

100

The numbers add up to 100 — the 19th 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.

The longest wait in this draw

36 had not appeared for 34 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 1.4× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 9% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈5.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,235 winners, 8% more than the 1.1k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
