The longest wait in this draw

51 had not appeared for 23 draws. A number waits about 14 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 ≈33M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Powerball — 2,575 winners, 13% more than the 2.3k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
