493times

Every number was expected about that many times after 989 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

2 had not appeared for 11 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 ≈6.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,501 winners, 2% more than the 1.5k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
