Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 7 numbers (1, 12, 13, 18) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 20 April 2023 — its closest relative in 317 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (9 May 2024): 1, 12, 18 carried over. Chance says 82% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (5% expected).
