Every number was expected about that many times after 931 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.

Sum and shape

123

The numbers add up to 123 — the 49th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 25–26, 26–27. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

15 had not appeared for 17 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
