Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (3, 15, 22, 31) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 25 September 2019 — its closest relative in 1,137 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 92% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (11 September 2024): 3, 15, 22 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

18 had not appeared for 15 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    The rings take the ≈4.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,005 winners, 4% fewer than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
