Every number was expected about that many times after 1,184 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

From the draw just before (22 February 2025): 23 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

144

The numbers add up to 144 — the 78th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 123. Side-by-side numbers: 21–22, 22–23. 58% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

29 had not appeared for 18 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
