Every number was expected about that many times after 738 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

26 had not appeared for 41 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 ≈252k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_1_1_b — 8,324 winners, 4% fewer than the 8.6k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
