Stars · a separate 1-of-10 machine

Times drawn before — chance expected 124 of each

9117times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,239 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 (6, 17, 18, 40) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 16 October 2024 — its closest relative in 1,239 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 94% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (3 September 2025): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

140

The numbers add up to 140 — the 73th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 17–18. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

18 had not appeared for 12 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 19% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈5.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,248 winners, 4% more than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
