The longest wait in this draw

37 had not appeared for 18 draws. A number waits about 9 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 ≈1.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 736 winners, 4% fewer than the 769 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
