Sum and shape

Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

5 had not appeared for 17 draws. A number waits about 9 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈3.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 21,197 winners, 12% more than the 19k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
