Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (6, 24, 48) and 0 of 2 stars with the draw of 3 October 2017 — its closest relative in 139 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 49% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (23 January 2018): 24 carried over. Chance says 42% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (32% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

28 had not appeared for 7 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 ≈39M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 1,404,360 winners, 21% fewer than the 1.8M an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
