Every number was expected about that many times after 240 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 6 numbers (7, 20, 23) with the draw of 2 August 2017 — its closest relative in 240 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (20 January 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 58% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

23 had not appeared for 13 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 ≈1.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 931 winners, 42% fewer than the 1.6k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less 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.
