The longest wait in this draw

43 had not appeared for 25 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 →

How many people held it

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈50k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 4,055 winners, 0% more than the 4.1k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
