The longest wait in this draw

20 had not appeared for 22 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

    The rings take the ≈516k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 4,848 winners, 4% fewer than the 5.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
