Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (40, 52, 55) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 March 2017 — its closest relative in 1,411 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 92% likelihood somewhere in that history.

The longest wait in this draw

52 had not appeared for 51 draws. A number waits about 14 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

  • Prize each, log scale
  • Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈17M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 18,915 winners, 97% fewer than the 615k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
