Every number was expected about that many times after 948 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 (15, 20, 29, 39) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 2 January 2021 — its closest relative in 948 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 88% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (19 November 2022): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

14 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.
