Times drawn before — chance expected 109 of each

9104times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,094 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.

The longest wait in this draw

19 had not appeared for 42 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 ≈3.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 760 winners, 4% fewer than the 794 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
