Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (18, 26, 29) with the draw of 7 December 2011 — its closest relative in 266 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (20 October 2012): nothing carried over. Chance says 63% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

26 had not appeared for 15 draws. A number waits about 7 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 ≈323k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 564 winners, 3% fewer than the 581 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
