Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (4, 8, 19, 31) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 25 March 2023 — its closest relative in 1,355 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 95% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (28 October 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

31 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 2.5× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 5% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈4.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,065 winners, 13% more than the 946 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
