Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (10, 20, 30) with the draw of 24 April 2013 — its closest relative in 483 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 August 2014): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

31 had not appeared for 12 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 ≈5.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 6,730 winners, 38% more than the 4.9k 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.
