Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

3 had not appeared for 13 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 50% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈499k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + XTRA — 8,210 winners, 88% fewer than the 66k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
