Every number was expected about that many times after 556 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

44 had not appeared for 27 draws. A number waits about 10 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

How many people held it

    The rings take the ≈572k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 2,323 winners, 9% more than the 2.1k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
