Every number was expected about that many times after 8 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 longest wait in this draw

21 had not appeared for 2 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 ≈24M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 plus Bonus Ball — 966 winners, 27% more than the 758 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more 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.
