Every number was expected about that many times after 340 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.

The longest wait in this draw

11 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 ≈345k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_2_1_b — 2,078 winners, 3% fewer than the 2.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
