Every number was expected about that many times after 868 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 (9, 22, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 3 May 2017 — its closest relative in 868 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 April 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

2 had not appeared for 41 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 ≈2.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 12,603 winners, 12% more than the 11k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
