From the draw just before (27 January 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈6.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Bonus — 887 winners, 7% more than the 827 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
