Every number was expected about that many times after 179 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

1 had not appeared for 36 draws. A number waits about 12 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 ≈110k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 20,691 winners, 269% more than the 5.6k 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.
