The longest wait in this draw

41 had not appeared for 22 draws. A number waits about 9 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 ≈2.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 10,071 winners, 4% fewer than the 10k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
