845times

Every number was expected about that many times after 418 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 6 numbers (1, 23, 25) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 7 October 2017 — its closest relative in 418 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

19 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.
