Times drawn before — chance expected 84 of each

383times

Every number was expected about that many times after 843 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 (2, 3, 4, 24) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 9 June 2018 — its closest relative in 843 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 85% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 November 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

24 had not appeared for 19 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
