Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (6, 8, 26) with the draw of 2 August 2017 — its closest relative in 446 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (24 January 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

6 had not appeared for 13 draws. A number waits about 7 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 ≈8.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 + Bonus — 25,996 winners, 9% more than the 24k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
