The longest wait in this draw

37 had not appeared for 11 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 ≈388k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 6,857 winners, 0% more than the 6.9k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
