Its nearest twin

Shares 2 of 5 numbers (17, 24) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 4 March 2023 — its closest relative in 259 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (17 April 2023): nothing carried over. Chance says 32% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

17 had not appeared for 20 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 ≈13M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 16,979 winners, 22% fewer than the 22k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
