Every number was expected about that many times after 24 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 (17, 21, 27) and 0 of 2 stars with the draw of 18 October 2016 — its closest relative in 24 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 11% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

13 had not appeared for 19 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 ≈20M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 plus Bonus Ball — 1,583 winners, 141% more than the 657 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.
