The longest wait in this draw

26 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 →

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈2.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 940 winners, 6% fewer than the 995 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
