Every number was expected about that many times after 821 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 3 of 5 numbers (3, 12, 16) with the draw of 7 January 2015 — its closest relative in 821 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (30 December 2015): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

12 had not appeared for 16 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 ≈84k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Cash Ball — 2,291 winners, 31% more than the 1.8k 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.
