43times

Every number was expected about that many times after 34 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 1 of 5 numbers (21) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 3 March 2018 — its closest relative in 34 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

Sum and shape

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

8 had not appeared for 14 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 ≈659k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_2_1_b — 3,812 winners, 7% fewer than the 4.1k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
