Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (30, 36, 49) with the draw of 18 April 2012 — its closest relative in 580 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (7 May 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 49% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

36 had not appeared for 18 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 ≈1.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 671 winners, 7% fewer than the 718 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
