Every number was expected about that many times after 632 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

19 had not appeared for 46 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 →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 66% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈248k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 21,839 winners, 557% 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.
