Shares 4 of 6 numbers (4, 18, 45, 46) with the draw of 10 September 2016 — its closest relative in 875 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 61% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (19 May 2018): nothing carried over. Chance says 57% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

46 had not appeared for 13 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 ≈222k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 11,093 winners, 167% more than the 4.1k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
