Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (12, 24, 25) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 4 November 2023 — its closest relative in 1,128 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (10 August 2024): 24, 25 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

5 had not appeared for 31 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
