Every number was expected about that many times after 43 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 2 of 6 numbers (8, 16) with the draw of 2 December 2015 — its closest relative in 43 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 March 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 58% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

24 had not appeared for 28 draws. A number waits about 8 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 ≈1.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus Ball — 16,344 winners, 26% fewer than the 22k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less 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.
