Every number was expected about that many times after 749 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 (1, 12, 27) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 16 October 2025 — its closest relative in 749 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

1 had not appeared for 13 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 ≈2.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 9,552 winners, 4% fewer than the 10.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
