48times

Every number was expected about that many times after 97 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 5 numbers (21, 38, 42) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 19 September 2019 — its closest relative in 97 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 43% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 February 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

38 had not appeared for 18 draws. A number waits about 9 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 ≈1.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 1,059 winners, 4% more than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
