Its nearest twin

From the draw just before (25 December 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 60% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

132

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

14 had not appeared for 17 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈190M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 3 — 4,522 winners, 17% fewer than the 5.5k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
