Its nearest twin

From the draw just before (2 January 2024): nothing carried over. Chance says 55% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

31 had not appeared for 28 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.
