Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (16, 37, 44) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 12 October 2016 — its closest relative in 362 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 48% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (23 March 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

44 had not appeared for 67 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 ≈116M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 2,972 winners, 7% fewer than the 3.2k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
