Every number was expected about that many times after 304 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

5 had not appeared for 28 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 ≈15M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 16,985 winners, 35% fewer than the 26k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less 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.
