The longest wait in this draw

53 had not appeared for 9 draws. A number waits about 10 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    The rings take the ≈2.1M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 897 winners, 6% fewer than the 953 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
