Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (25, 26, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 December 2012 — its closest relative in 566 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 September 2013): 28 carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

32 had not appeared for 9 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 ≈1.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 8,956 winners, 7% fewer than the 9.6k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
