Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (5, 27, 33) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 24 June 2015 — its closest relative in 909 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

30 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 ≈2.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 24,224 winners, 10% more than the 22k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
