Its nearest twin

Shares 2 of 5 numbers (3, 32) and 0 of 2 stars with the draw of 9 March 2012 — its closest relative in 99 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 April 2012): nothing carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 10 repeated (35% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

41 had not appeared for 20 draws. A number waits about 10 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 ≈23M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 1,673,116 winners, 65% more than the 1.0M 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.
