A Long-Awaited Return
The available record shows 278 returning after 877 days. That span is long enough to register as a low-frequency outcome even when the exact prior date is not surfaced.
A Subtle Pattern in the Digits
There was also a digit echo: 8 showed again in the midday 896 and evening 278 results. Single repeats are expected at steady rates. Overlap rates become meaningful only over time.
Combo Profile
Beyond the drought, the digits show a clean structure: 3 distinct digits with no repeats, spanning 2 to 8 (wide spread).
Why Droughts Matter
Deep gaps are context, not a cue - they highlight the tail behavior of the system. They clarify how far outcomes drift from baseline cadence.

Adding to the Long-Term Record
