Every number was expected about that many times after 140 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 2 of 5 numbers (21, 42) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 16 January 2019 — its closest relative in 140 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 March 2019): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

22 had not appeared for 28 draws. A number waits about 10 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈670k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 2,202 winners, 12% fewer than the 2.5k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
