Its nearest twin

Shares 3 of 6 numbers (11, 13, 21) with the draw of 22 April 2017 — its closest relative in 468 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 100% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 December 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 60% of draws repeat at least one number.

Sum and shape

110

The longest wait in this draw

11 had not appeared for 17 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

Gap & “Overdue” Tracker →

How many people held it

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈62M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 4 — 75,952 winners, 10% fewer than the 85k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
