The longest wait in this draw

18 had not appeared for 16 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 ≈8.9M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 + Bonus — 93,900 winners, 15% fewer than the 110k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
