66times

Every number was expected about that many times after 86 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 2 of 5 numbers (24, 42) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 30 June 2018 — its closest relative in 86 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (8 September 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

23 had not appeared for 30 draws. A number waits about 10 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 ≈475k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,638 winners, 8% fewer than the 1.8k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
