772times

Every number was expected about that many times after 743 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 (10, 14, 15, 20) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 25 April 2015 — its closest relative in 743 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 81% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 December 2020): 4 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

64

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

1 had not appeared for 8 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
