Times drawn before — chance expected 101 of each

694times

Every number was expected about that many times after 2,622 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 (14, 22, 30) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 14 June 2022 — its closest relative in 2,622 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (3 May 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

26 had not appeared for 28 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 — 1,227 winners, 17% 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.
