Every number was expected about that many times after 450 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 4 of 5 numbers (3, 6, 8, 49) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 26 June 2021 — its closest relative in 450 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 4.0% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (5 March 2022): 1, 49 carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

6 had not appeared for 17 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 ≈469k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 2,026 winners, 15% more than the 1.8k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
