Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (11, 19, 38) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 6 July 2017 — its closest relative in 259 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (15 February 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (5% expected).
