Every number was expected about that many times after 710 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 6 numbers (7, 11, 16, 28) with the draw of 11 December 2019 — its closest relative in 710 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 80% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (5 August 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

23 had not appeared for 6 draws. A number waits about 7 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 ≈22M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 5 — 1,360 winners, 20% more than the 1.1k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
