Times drawn before — chance expected 1 of each

31time

Every number was expected about that many times after 12 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

4 had not appeared for 8 draws. A number waits about 10 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 ≈552k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,875 winners, 9% fewer than the 2.1k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
