Times drawn before — chance expected 107 of each

498times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,066 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, 12, 13, 28) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 30 May 2020 — its closest relative in 1,066 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 91% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (6 January 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

96

The numbers add up to 96 — the 15th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 4–5, 12–13. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

28 had not appeared for 20 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 15% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈4.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,031 winners, 5% more than the 986 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
