The longest wait in this draw

40 had not appeared for 10 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 ≈1.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 808 winners, 4% fewer than the 843 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
