The longest wait in this draw

13 had not appeared for 25 draws. A number waits about 14 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 ≈4.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 9,024 winners, 11% more than the 8.1k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
