Every number was expected about that many times after 1,337 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 (14, 15, 17, 40) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 15 October 2025 — its closest relative in 1,337 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 95% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (12 August 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 9 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: 14–15. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

17 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 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 21% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈6.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,444 winners, 1% more than the 1.4k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
