899times

Every number was expected about that many times after 962 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 (9, 10, 22, 24) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 30 June 2012 — its closest relative in 962 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 89% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (7 January 2023): 24 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

22 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.
