Times drawn before — chance expected 110 of each

25122times

Every number was expected about that many times after 2,859 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

23 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 ≈43k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 1,529 winners, 31% fewer than the 2.2k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
