Every number was expected about that many times after 204 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 (3, 23, 28) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 22 November 2014 — its closest relative in 204 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (3 October 2015): 23 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Sum and shape

106

The longest wait in this draw

28 had not appeared for 36 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 ≈2.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 + Powerball — 6,460 winners, 0% more than the 6.5k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
