Every number was expected about that many times after 1,183 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, 8, 10, 16) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 21 June 2023 — its closest relative in 1,183 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 93% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (19 February 2025): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

8 had not appeared for 15 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 ≈5.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,368 winners, 8% more than the 1.3k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
