Every number was expected about that many times after 655 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, 16, 26, 29) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 13 June 2020 — its closest relative in 655 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 5.8% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (9 August 2023): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 5 repeated (10% expected).

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

26 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 ≈458k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,860 winners, 8% more than the 1.7k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
