Its nearest twin

Shares 2 of 5 numbers (19, 59) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 28 November 2018 — its closest relative in 340 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (5 January 2019): nothing carried over. Chance says 32% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

49 had not appeared for 16 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 ≈8.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 598 winners, 3% fewer than the 615 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
