Every number was expected about that many times after 225 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 (13, 14, 17, 18) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 7 February 2015 — its closest relative in 225 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 40% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 December 2015): 14, 18 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

20 had not appeared for 9 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
