Every number was expected about that many times after 456 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 5 numbers (2, 20, 27) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 12 April 2014 — its closest relative in 456 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 93% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (14 May 2014): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

2 had not appeared for 7 draws. A number waits about 9 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 ≈4.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 + Mega Ball — 995 winners, 21% more than the 825 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
