437times

Every number was expected about that many times after 341 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 (8, 9, 17, 19) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 15 February 2014 — its closest relative in 341 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 54% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 January 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

69

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

10 had not appeared for 13 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →
