Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 5 numbers (17, 21, 26, 37) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 16 June 2010 — its closest relative in 419 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 5.6% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (4 January 2014): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

21 had not appeared for 23 draws. A number waits about 9 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈2.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 1 + Mega Ball — 33,592 winners, 3% fewer than the 35k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
