Every number was expected about that many times after 842 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, 19, 45) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 9 December 2017 — its closest relative in 842 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (24 January 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

5 had not appeared for 24 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 ≈2.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 13,590 winners, 11% more than the 12k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
