Every number was expected about that many times after 824 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 (3, 4, 24) with the draw of 4 August 2017 — its closest relative in 824 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 January 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 49% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

4 had not appeared for 20 draws. A number waits about 8 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 ≈348k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 3,029 winners, 11% more than the 2.7k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
