Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (2, 21, 33) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 10 April 2024 — its closest relative in 840 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 97% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (14 October 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: 4 repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

21 had not appeared for 23 draws. A number waits about 10 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    The rings take the ≈441k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,604 winners, 3% fewer than the 1.7k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
