The longest wait in this draw

18 had not appeared for 13 draws. A number waits about 6 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 ≈1.7M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 5 — 495 winners, 22% fewer than the 634 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
