Every number was expected about that many times after 208 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

52 had not appeared for 18 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 ≈9.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 13,578 winners, 20% fewer than the 17k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
