Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 5 numbers (5, 8, 13, 17) with the draw of 27 April 2014 — its closest relative in 3,982 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 69% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 March 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

17 had not appeared for 22 draws. A number waits about 8 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 ≈190k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 2,067 winners, 12% more than the 1.9k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
