Times drawn before — chance expected 131 of each

10128times

Every number was expected about that many times after 1,314 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 (6, 17, 27, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 6 September 2025 — its closest relative in 1,314 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 95% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (23 May 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

27 had not appeared for 17 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
