Every number was expected about that many times after 726 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 (9, 16, 36) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 10 September 2014 — its closest relative in 726 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (3 October 2014): 6 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

12 had not appeared for 26 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 — 755 winners, 4% fewer than the 787 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
