Every number was expected about that many times after 678 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

1 had not appeared for 25 draws. A number waits about 7 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 ≈6.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 + Bonus — 13,481 winners, 22% fewer than the 17k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
