Every number was expected about that many times after 1,058 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 (4, 10, 21, 34) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 29 July 2023 — its closest relative in 1,058 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 91% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (9 December 2023): 4, 24 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

133

The numbers add up to 133 — the 64th 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.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

21 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.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 16% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,077 winners, 18% more than the 914 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
