Times drawn before — chance expected 130 of each

3127times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,297 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 (5, 12, 19, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 7 September 2022 — its closest relative in 1,297 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 95% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 March 2026): 27 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

19 had not appeared for 12 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
