Times drawn before — chance expected 107 of each

1116times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,071 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 5 of 6 numbers (8, 13, 20, 25, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 12 January 2022 — its closest relative in 1,071 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 5.6% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (24 January 2024): 13 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

109

The longest wait in this draw

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

    The rings take the ≈8.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,780 winners, 1% more than the 1.8k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
