Times drawn before — chance expected 107 of each

6103times

Every number was expected about that many times after 2,788 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 (13, 17, 24) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 2 April 2022 — its closest relative in 2,788 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 October 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

17 had not appeared for 25 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 ≈26k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 1,157 winners, 12% fewer than the 1.3k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
