This draw, read by every tool
What the site’s explorations say about the numbers drawn on 8 February 2014 — each beside what chance predicted. None of it says anything about the next draw.
Where the money went
Every number was expected about that many times after 266 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.
The rings take the ≈45M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 3 — 958 winners, 27% fewer than the 1.3k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
