The longest wait in this draw

13 had not appeared for 24 draws. A number waits about 8 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 ≈267k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 5,002 winners, 0% more than the 5.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
