Times drawn before — chance expected 99 of each

492times

Every number was expected about that many times after 987 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 (24, 31, 34, 36) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 11 December 2021 — its closest relative in 987 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 89% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (5 April 2023): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

174

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

12 had not appeared for 21 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 27% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈5.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,248 winners, 3% more than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
