Every number was expected about that many times after 974 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, 25, 30) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 4 July 2020 — its closest relative in 974 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 89% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (18 February 2023): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

112

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

25 had not appeared for 14 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 ≈4.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,060 winners, 3% more than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
