Every number was expected about that many times after 931 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, 6, 37) with the draw of 5 December 2017 — its closest relative in 931 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (3 May 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 49% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

20 had not appeared for 26 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 ≈854k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 6,670 winners, 0% fewer than the 6.7k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
