Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 5 numbers (9, 17, 20, 25) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 12 May 2018 — its closest relative in 1,253 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 16% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (1 January 2022): nothing carried over. Chance says 45% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

2 had not appeared for 13 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 ≈3.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 + Mega Ball — 712 winners, 13% more than the 629 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
