Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (5, 14, 28) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 11 February 2023 — its closest relative in 986 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (1 April 2023): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

25 had not appeared for 9 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 899 winners, 2% more than the 886 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
