Times drawn before — chance expected 110 of each

12102times

Every number was expected about that many times after 2,866 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 (7, 9, 11) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 12 November 2024 — its closest relative in 2,866 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 January 2025): nothing carried over. Chance says 40% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

9 had not appeared for 13 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 ≈34k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 2,232 winners, 27% more than the 1.8k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more 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.
