472times

Every number was expected about that many times after 733 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.

From the draw just before (28 October 2020): 28 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

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