Every number was expected about that many times after 60 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

36 had not appeared for 13 draws. A number waits about 8 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

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈608k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus Ball — 10,461 winners, 25% more than the 8.4k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
