Every number was expected about that many times after 580 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 ≈769k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 923 winners, 57% more than the 586 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.
