The longest wait in this draw

8 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 ≈2.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 1,282 winners, 16% more than the 1.1k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
