Carry-over / Déjà Vu →The numbers add up to 99 — the 28th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 115. Side-by-side numbers: 11–12. 39% of draws have at least one such pair.
Sum Distribution →32 had not appeared for 28 draws. A number waits about 9 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
