Every number was expected about that many times after 227 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 (5, 43) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 23 November 2019 — its closest relative in 227 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 January 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 9 repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

127

The longest wait in this draw

43 had not appeared for 16 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 ≈482k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,656 winners, 8% fewer than the 1.8k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
