364times

Every number was expected about that many times after 675 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.

The longest wait in this draw

23 had not appeared for 8 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    The rings take the ≈3.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 876 winners, 8% more than the 810 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
