Times drawn before — chance expected 128 of each

6118times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,282 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 (18, 19, 20, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 29 June 2019 — its closest relative in 1,282 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 94% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (31 January 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

143

The numbers add up to 143 — the 77th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 18–19, 19–20, 36–37. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

20 had not appeared for 29 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 ≈4.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 897 winners, 6% fewer than the 951 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
