How the Overdue Numbers strategy works

Picks the numbers that have gone longest without being drawn.

The exact rule

  1. Take every official draw we hold.
  2. For each number, count the draws since it last came up.
  3. Pick the numbers with the longest gaps.

What it can't do: No number is ever "due". Each draw is independent, so a long gap changes nothing.
