Its nearest twin

Shares 2 of 5 numbers (1, 18) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 26 April 2017 — its closest relative in 184 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

2 had not appeared for 32 draws. A number waits about 14 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 ≈12M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus Ball — 19,579 winners, 10% more than the 18k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
