Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (5, 26, 30, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 21 December 2016 — its closest relative in 388 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 58% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (8 July 2017): 30 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 9 repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

132

The longest wait in this draw

5 had not appeared for 7 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
