Times drawn before — chance expected 120 of each

4107times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,202 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 (1, 12, 14, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 27 July 2024 — its closest relative in 1,202 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 93% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (26 April 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

20 had not appeared for 17 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 ≈4.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,028 winners, 2% more than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
