Every number was expected about that many times after 629 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 6 numbers (3, 15, 26) with the draw of 15 August 2015 — its closest relative in 629 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (9 January 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

3 had not appeared for 33 draws. A number waits about 9 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈338k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 32,344 winners, 615% more than the 4.5k 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.
