The longest wait in this draw

18 had not appeared for 14 draws. A number waits about 10 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 ≈87M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 5 — 759 winners, 34% more than the 565 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.
