Times drawn before — chance expected 131 of each

5141times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,309 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, 18, 26, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 23 October 2021 — its closest relative in 1,309 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 95% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (6 May 2026): 3 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

101

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

10 had not appeared for 16 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 →

    The rings take the ≈8.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 2,047 winners, 7% more than the 1.9k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
