Times drawn before — chance expected 100 of each

22101times

Every number was expected about that many times after 2,606 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.

The longest wait in this draw

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

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈29k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 1,295 winners, 12% fewer than the 1.5k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
