Times drawn before — chance expected 132 of each

3129times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,315 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.

Sum and shape

157

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

39 had not appeared for 25 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 22% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈9.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,990 winners, 3% fewer than the 2.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
