Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (16, 21, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 20 December 2017 — its closest relative in 827 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (10 March 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 50% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (17% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

31 had not appeared for 10 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
