Every number was expected about that many times after 87 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 2 of 5 numbers (8, 29) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 17 October 2019 — its closest relative in 87 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (13 January 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

129

The longest wait in this draw

29 had not appeared for 25 draws. A number waits about 9 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 ≈1.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus Ball — 13,388 winners, 8% fewer than the 14k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
