Every number was expected about that many times after 315 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 (14, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 6 September 2017 — its closest relative in 315 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (10 October 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 32% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

165

The numbers add up to 165 — the 41th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 175. No two numbers side by side. 27% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

14 had not appeared for 33 draws. A number waits about 14 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 ≈27M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 700 winners, 7% fewer than the 751 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
