Times drawn before — chance expected 98 of each

1598times

Every number was expected about that many times after 2,559 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 3 of 4 numbers (18, 27, 28) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 25 December 2023 — its closest relative in 2,559 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (1 March 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 40% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

19 had not appeared for 22 draws. A number waits about 9 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
