Every number was expected about that many times after 80 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.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈61k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 4,910 winners, 0% more than the 4.9k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
