The longest wait in this draw

68 had not appeared for 44 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 →

How many people held it

A line like this is played about 0.6× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 51% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈21M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 510 winners, 13% fewer than the 586 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
