The longest wait in this draw

30 had not appeared for 14 draws. A number waits about 7 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 ≈276k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 488 winners, 14% fewer than the 569 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
