Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (14, 16, 23, 34) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 31 January 2026 — its closest relative in 1,343 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 95% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (2 September 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

23 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.
