Times drawn before — chance expected 120 of each

1130times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,200 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, 22, 24, 31) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 30 October 2024 — its closest relative in 1,200 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 93% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (19 April 2025): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

146

The longest wait in this draw

19 had not appeared for 9 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
