The longest wait in this draw

38 had not appeared for 12 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 ≈282M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 3 — 6,545 winners, 19% fewer than the 8.1k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
