The longest wait in this draw

7 had not appeared for 16 draws. A number waits about 7 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 2.5× as often as an average ticket — more popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 7% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈323k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 647 winners, 11% more than the 582 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
