Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (3, 14, 30) and 1 of 1 stars with the draw of 15 August 2018 — its closest relative in 1,258 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 October 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (17% expected).

Sum and shape

66

The numbers add up to 66 — the 13th percentile of all possible tickets, around a middle of 90. No two numbers side by side. 48% of draws have at least one such pair.

The longest wait in this draw

7 had not appeared for 11 draws. A number waits about 7 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 ≈88k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Cash Ball — 2,297 winners, 26% more than the 1.8k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more 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.
