Its nearest twin

Shares 2 of 5 numbers (10, 40) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 March 2017 — its closest relative in 183 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

8 had not appeared for 25 draws. A number waits about 14 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
