BC/49 Overdue Numbers

Which numbers have gone longest without appearing, across 1,103 draws. With 6 numbers drawn from 49, a number comes up once every 8.2 draws on average — so gaps of two or three times that are entirely normal.

"Overdue" describes the past, not the future. A number that has not appeared for fifty draws is exactly as likely to come up next time as one drawn yesterday — the balls have no memory of the gap. This page is here because the question gets asked, and the honest answer is more useful than a page that dresses the gap up as a signal.
