Times drawn before — chance expected 134 of each

10131times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,338 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 (13, 19, 20, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 4 February 2026 — its closest relative in 1,338 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 95% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 August 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

130

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

20 had not appeared for 10 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.

    The rings take the ≈5.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,281 winners, 4% more than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
