Every number was expected about that many times after 728 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 4 of 5 numbers (6, 25, 31, 34) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 12 July 2014 — its closest relative in 728 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 19% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (8 October 2014): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

34 had not appeared for 23 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 ≈1.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 10,146 winners, 8% fewer than the 11k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
