Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (3, 25, 50) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 August 2018 — its closest relative in 1,032 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 99% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (5 January 2026): nothing carried over. Chance says 41% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (10% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

45 had not appeared for 8 draws. A number waits about 10 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 ≈453k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_2_1_b — 2,723 winners, 4% fewer than the 2.8k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
