Myth check

A number being “due” is the most famous lottery myth. The gap distribution here is geometric — memoryless. After 30 draws without a 7, the chance of a 7 on the next draw is still 1-in-10 (Pick 3/4) or whatever it always was. The dashed line is what pure randomness predicts; observed values track it closely.
