Every number was expected about that many times after 90 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.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus Ball — 21,870 winners, 25% more than the 18k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
