Every number was expected about that many times after 440 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 (10, 15, 39) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 3 October 2012 — its closest relative in 440 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (5 December 2012): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

96

The longest wait in this draw

39 had not appeared for 13 draws. A number waits about 8 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 ≈1.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 800 winners, 15% more than the 698 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
