Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 5 numbers (2, 28, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 8 January 2020 — its closest relative in 1,154 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (28 April 2021): nothing carried over. Chance says 50% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (17% expected).

The longest wait in this draw

28 had not appeared for 16 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
