Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (14, 27, 35) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 20 March 2010 — its closest relative in 657 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 98% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 April 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

35 had not appeared for 28 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 ≈2.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Mega Ball — 6,426 winners, 3% fewer than the 6.6k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
