618times

Every number was expected about that many times after 228 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 (4, 11, 23) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 26 January 2019 — its closest relative in 228 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 62% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (18 January 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

6 had not appeared for 24 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 ≈434k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 2,246 winners, 38% more than the 1.6k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
