The longest wait in this draw

51 had not appeared for 7 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 ≈1.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 613 winners, 10% fewer than the 678 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
