Every number was expected about that many times after 595 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.

From the draw just before (12 September 2015): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

53 had not appeared for 29 draws. A number waits about 9 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 ≈249k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 23,428 winners, 602% more than the 3.3k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more 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.
