Every number was expected about that many times after 1,254 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 (27, 28, 29) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 10 January 2018 — its closest relative in 1,254 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (10 February 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

4 had not appeared for 18 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 ≈605k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 6,916 winners, 26% more than the 5.5k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
