Every number was expected about that many times after 194 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 4 of 6 numbers (6, 8, 18, 35) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 8 March 2014 — its closest relative in 194 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 35% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 July 2015): 18 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

6 had not appeared for 15 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
