From the draw just before (24 August 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (5% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

34 had not appeared for 20 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
