148times

Every number was expected about that many times after 580 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 (5, 17, 48) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 4 May 2019 — its closest relative in 580 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 92% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 February 2023): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 1 repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

147

The longest wait in this draw

48 had not appeared for 15 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 ≈644k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 2,637 winners, 9% more than the 2.4k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
