Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (5, 20, 42) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 10 March 2021 — its closest relative in 1,287 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (30 April 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

27 had not appeared for 30 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 ≈1.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Mega Ball — 5,728 winners, 12% more than the 5.1k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
