Every number was expected about that many times after 627 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, 15, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 October 2014 — its closest relative in 627 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 97% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 January 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

The longest wait in this draw

35 had not appeared for 15 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 ≈2.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 + Mega Ball — 549 winners, 6% fewer than the 584 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
