26times

Every number was expected about that many times after 144 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 3 of 5 numbers (10, 28, 61) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 9 July 2016 — its closest relative in 144 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 23% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

61 had not appeared for 26 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 ≈63M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 4,639 winners, 6% more than the 4.4k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
