Every number was expected about that many times after 101 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 (16, 24, 29) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 21 October 2019 — its closest relative in 101 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 44% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 March 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

24 had not appeared for 15 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 3 plus Bonus Ball — 949 winners, 11% fewer than the 1.1k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
