Stars · a separate 1-of-10 machine

Times drawn before — chance expected 110 of each

9105times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,101 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 (19, 31, 35, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 24 April 2019 — its closest relative in 1,101 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 92% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (8 May 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

35 had not appeared for 19 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 0.5× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 27% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈8.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,999 winners, 3% more than the 1.9k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
