Sum and shape

78

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

15 had not appeared for 18 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

A line like this is played about 2.4× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 1% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈1.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 11,091 winners, 24% fewer than the 15k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
