Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 5 numbers (14, 15, 23, 29) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 June 2011 — its closest relative in 805 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 18% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (23 December 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 50% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (17% expected).
