The longest wait in this draw

2 had not appeared for 13 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    The rings take the ≈8.9k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 1,115 winners, 0% more than the 1.1k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
