Every number was expected about that many times after 1,029 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 (17, 24, 26, 34) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 23 October 2013 — its closest relative in 1,029 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 26% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (9 September 2016): 26 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

17 had not appeared for 7 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 2 plus Bonus Ball — 21,101 winners, 3% fewer than the 22k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
