Sum Distribution →

The longest wait in this draw

25 had not appeared for 32 draws. A number waits about 10 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 ≈676k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 2,667 winners, 5% more than the 2.5k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
