Every number was expected about that many times after 146 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 (6, 19, 25) and 1 of 2 stars with the draw of 2 May 2017 — its closest relative in 146 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 50% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 February 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (32% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

19 had not appeared for 25 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 ≈35M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus 2 Bonus Balls — 3,227 winners, 31% more than the 2.5k 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.
