366times

Every number was expected about that many times after 812 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 (1, 5, 8) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 10 April 2015 — its closest relative in 812 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

26 had not appeared for 9 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 2 plus Bonus Ball — 7,872 winners, 10% fewer than the 8.8k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
