Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (7, 22, 24, 34) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 25 November 2017 — its closest relative in 707 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 80% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (29 July 2020): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

7 had not appeared for 8 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
