Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (5, 19, 28, 31) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 4 May 2022 — its closest relative in 983 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 89% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (22 March 2023): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

8 had not appeared for 28 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
