Every number was expected about that many times after 1,020 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 5 of 6 numbers (6, 23, 25, 27, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 24 July 2019 — its closest relative in 1,020 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 5.3% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (29 July 2023): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

141

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

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