Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (14, 22, 46) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 13 April 2016 — its closest relative in 736 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (18 January 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

7 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 ≈3.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 21,401 winners, 5% more than the 20k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
