Sum and shape

The longest wait in this draw

30 had not appeared for 29 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.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈804k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 6,844 winners, 13% fewer than the 7.8k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
