Times drawn before — chance expected 114 of each

8121times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,141 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 (12, 16, 24, 28) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 6 July 2024 — its closest relative in 1,141 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 92% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 September 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

24 had not appeared for 8 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 20% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈6.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,522 winners, 3% more than the 1.5k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
