The longest wait in this draw

19 had not appeared for 17 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 ≈34M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 5 of 18 — 11,145 winners, 1674% more than the 628 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably more popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
