Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (1, 17, 21) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 13 June 2015 — its closest relative in 842 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (1 July 2015): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

34 had not appeared for 14 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 ≈1.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 10,941 winners, 2% fewer than the 11k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
