The longest wait in this draw

47 had not appeared for 31 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 ≈14M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_5_b — 467 winners, 15% fewer than the 547 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
