Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 5 numbers (7, 12, 19, 34) and 0 of 1 stars with the draw of 12 November 2014 — its closest relative in 1,165 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 29% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (22 July 2017): nothing carried over. Chance says 52% of draws repeat at least one number. Stars: none repeated (7% expected).

Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

12 had not appeared for 5 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus Ball — 15,343 winners, 8% more than the 14k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
