The longest wait in this draw

38 had not appeared for 10 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    The rings take the ≈9.2M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 + Bonus — 26,008 winners, 3% more than the 25k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
