The longest wait in this draw

43 had not appeared for 14 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 →

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 7 — 9,171 winners, 16% fewer than the 11k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
