Every number was expected about that many times after 813 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

47 had not appeared for 30 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 ≈220k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 16,286 winners, 453% more than the 2.9k 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.
