Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (3, 4, 22, 25) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 2 October 2019 — its closest relative in 1,017 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 90% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (19 July 2023): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

Carry-over / Déjà Vu →

Sum and shape

90

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

12 had not appeared for 19 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
