Every number was expected about that many times after 891 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 3 of 6 numbers (8, 14, 59) with the draw of 24 December 2022 — its closest relative in 891 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (20 April 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 49% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

208

The longest wait in this draw

59 had not appeared for 15 draws. A number waits about 10 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 ≈5.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 1,806 winners, 31% fewer than the 2.6k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
