Every number was expected about that many times after 873 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 (6, 18, 25) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 13 November 2021 — its closest relative in 873 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 March 2022): 6 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

18 had not appeared for 21 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
