The longest wait in this draw

44 had not appeared for 14 draws. A number waits about 10 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 ≈3.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 plus Bonus Ball — 621 winners, 14% fewer than the 722 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
