Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 4 numbers (5, 20, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 7 December 2023 — its closest relative in 2,880 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 January 2025): nothing carried over. Chance says 40% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

5 had not appeared for 20 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 ≈35k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 1,482 winners, 17% fewer than the 1.8k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
