Every number was expected about that many times after 300 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 (21, 23, 34) with the draw of 19 November 2019 — its closest relative in 300 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (4 January 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 55% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

23 had not appeared for 8 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
