Times drawn before — chance expected 208 of each

13232times

Every number was expected about that many times after 2,914 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.

The longest wait in this draw

14 had not appeared for 22 draws. A number waits about 8 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 ≈998k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 9,761 winners, 8% more than the 9.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
