Every number was expected about that many times after 66 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 2 of 5 numbers (41, 59) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 19 December 2015 — its closest relative in 66 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 93% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

11 had not appeared for 17 draws. A number waits about 14 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 ≈9.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 586 winners, 11% fewer than the 660 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
