993times

Every number was expected about that many times after 984 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 5 of 6 numbers (14, 23, 35, 36, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 14 February 2018 — its closest relative in 984 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 5.1% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 March 2023): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

169

The numbers add up to 169 — the 96th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 23–24, 35–36, 36–37. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

36 had not appeared for 13 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 0.4× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 30% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈3.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 761 winners, 3% fewer than the 782 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
