Every number was expected about that many times after 917 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 (17, 29, 31) with the draw of 23 December 2023 — its closest relative in 917 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

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

Sum and shape

137

The longest wait in this draw

17 had not appeared for 20 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 ≈7.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 4,546 winners, 27% more than the 3.6k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more 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.
