Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (8, 19, 24) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 9 September 2020 — its closest relative in 1,973 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (23 July 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

102

The numbers add up to 102 — the 52th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 100. No two numbers side by side. 44% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

8 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 ≈2.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 605 winners, 3% more than the 586 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
