Every number was expected about that many times after 93 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 (10, 49) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 25 August 2018 — its closest relative in 93 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (3 October 2018): 14 carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

27 had not appeared for 28 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 ≈483k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_1_1_b — 16,194 winners, 2% fewer than the 17k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
