Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (30, 31, 33) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 20 June 2015 — its closest relative in 879 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (25 September 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

31 had not appeared for 12 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 ≈2.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 662 winners, 8% fewer than the 723 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
