Every number was expected about that many times after 871 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 (12, 17, 22) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 24 April 2024 — its closest relative in 871 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

22 had not appeared for 26 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 ≈696k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 2,674 winners, 3% more than the 2.6k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
