Every number was expected about that many times after 676 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, 23, 24) with the draw of 7 April 2020 — its closest relative in 676 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 January 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 55% of draws repeat at least one number.
