Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (17, 22, 27, 29) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 9 December 2020 — its closest relative in 1,157 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 93% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (20 November 2024): 40 carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

27 had not appeared for 17 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 ≈6.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,424 winners, 2% more than the 1.4k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
