Its nearest twin

Shares 4 of 6 numbers (1, 3, 4, 40) with the draw of 10 November 2019 — its closest relative in 2,821 draws. Chance gave a match this close a 94% likelihood somewhere in that history.

From the draw just before (16 August 2023): nothing carried over. Chance says 56% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

4 had not appeared for 15 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 ≈24M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 of 6 — 11,009 winners, 97% fewer than the 431k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less 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.
