Its nearest twin

From the draw just before (14 May 2022): nothing carried over. Chance says 65% of draws repeat at least one number.

The longest wait in this draw

34 had not appeared for 21 draws. A number waits about 7 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 ≈184k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus — 4,672 winners, 19% more than the 3.9k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
