Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (5, 14, 43) with the draw of 1 September 2018 — its closest relative in 520 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 December 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 60% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

41 had not appeared for 26 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈40M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 3 — 992 winners, 15% fewer than the 1.2k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
