The longest wait in this draw

39 had not appeared for 14 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 0.8× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 2% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈118k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 1,062 winners, 7% fewer than the 1.1k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
