The longest wait in this draw

43 had not appeared for 31 draws. A number waits about 8 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 0.7× as often as an average ticket — less popular than most. At 30 million tickets sold, a winner on these numbers would keep about 52% of the jackpot.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈29M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 5 of 18 — 9,427 winners, 1645% more than the 540 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
