Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (8, 21, 24, 41) with the draw of 4 January 2012 — its closest relative in 664 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 48% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 May 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

24 had not appeared for 31 draws. A number waits about 8 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 ≈5.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 4,606 winners, 9% fewer than the 5.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
