756times

Every number was expected about that many times after 548 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 (3, 11, 13) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 19 September 2018 — its closest relative in 548 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (19 January 2019): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

108

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

13 had not appeared for 30 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
