The longest wait in this draw

27 had not appeared for 19 draws. A number waits about 10 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

  • Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈28M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 plus Bonus Ball — 730,726 winners, 20% more than the 611k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
