Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (24, 25, 32) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 1 January 2015 — its closest relative in 181 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (18 August 2016): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (5% expected).
