The Lab
Experiments & visualizations
A playground for looking at Powerball draws from strange angles. Nothing here is meant to predict anything — it's all just a way to ask what does 1,900 random draws look like if you squint this way?
Combinatorial vs Empirical
Two scoring models, same random pool, real draws. A live shadow test of which philosophy matches more numbers.
Collatz × Powerball
Every drawn number traces a unique path to 1 under the Collatz rule. All 69 paths overlaid; latest draw highlighted.
Draws on a Clock
Each draw plotted as a polygon around a 69-position clock. Centroid color shows how lopsided each pick really is.
Draws as Colors
Every draw mapped to a single color — hue from the numbers, saturation from spread, lightness from sum. 200 recent draws on a wall.
Draws in Binary
Every draw is 35 bits. Is any position biased? Is the bit-flip rate between draws really 50%? (Yes.)
Modular Fingerprints
Each number has a unique signature: its residues mod 2, 3, 5, and 7. Here's how those residues distribute across every draw.
Prime Factorizations
Which small primes dominate across Powerball draws? Every number broken into its prime factors.
The Space Between
Forget the numbers. Every draw is really six gaps that total 69. See the spaces that define each draw.
Draws as Chords
Every draw is five notes on a chromatic scale from C3 to A7. Tap to play the chord for any recent drawing.
Is Your Draw in π?
Type five numbers. We search the first million digits of π for the 10-digit string. Plus: which recent draws appear earliest.
RNG Tournament
Eight random number generators compete to match real draws. Math.random vs PCG vs Xorshift vs five more. Spoiler: no one wins.
