Every number was expected about that many times after 459 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, 22, 26) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 August 2012 — its closest relative in 459 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

86

The numbers add up to 86 — the 28th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 100. No two numbers side by side. 44% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

8 had not appeared for 10 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 ≈2.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 905 winners, 15% more than the 784 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
