Stars · a separate 1-of-10 machine

Times drawn before — chance expected 104 of each

1088times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,040 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 (7, 12, 14, 31) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 June 2016 — its closest relative in 1,040 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 90% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (7 October 2023): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

84

The numbers add up to 84 — the 7th 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

7 had not appeared for 16 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 ≈3.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 867 winners, 7% more than the 814 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
