Times drawn before — chance expected 116 of each

10109times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,163 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 (10, 14, 17, 21) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 10 September 2022 — its closest relative in 1,163 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 93% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 December 2024): 32 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 10 repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

118

The longest wait in this draw

14 had not appeared for 30 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
