Every number was expected about that many times after 276 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 (17, 23) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 18 April 2018 — its closest relative in 276 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (26 May 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 32% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

46 had not appeared for 30 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 ≈8.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 520 winners, 6% fewer than the 552 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
