Every number was expected about that many times after 814 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 (15, 26, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 21 November 2014 — its closest relative in 814 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 April 2015): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

95

The longest wait in this draw

32 had not appeared for 8 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 ≈1.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 1,294 winners, 4% more than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
