Every number was expected about that many times after 514 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 3 of 5 numbers (14, 28, 52) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 April 2020 — its closest relative in 514 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 89% likelihood somewhere in that history.

Sum and shape

108

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

28 had not appeared for 27 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 ≈620k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 2,569 winners, 11% more than the 2.3k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
