Every number was expected about that many times after 666 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 (8, 12, 27) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 4 October 2014 — its closest relative in 666 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (18 May 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

Sum and shape

125

The longest wait in this draw

44 had not appeared for 27 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 ≈2.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 13,202 winners, 9% more than the 12k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
