The longest wait in this draw

21 had not appeared for 21 draws. A number waits about 10 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

    The rings take the ≈1.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 688 winners, 7% fewer than the 742 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
