The longest wait in this draw

17 had not appeared for 18 draws. A number waits about 10 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

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 82% of the jackpot.

    The rings take the ≈2.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 954 winners, 5% fewer than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
