From the draw just before (13 March 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 32% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (4% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

69 had not appeared for 53 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 ≈33M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 41,549 winners, 27% fewer than the 57k 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.
