Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (3, 14, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 20 January 2016 — its closest relative in 902 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

17 had not appeared for 25 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 3 — 14,083 winners, 8% more than the 13k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
