The longest wait in this draw

11 had not appeared for 15 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 ≈4.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 4,244 winners, 10% fewer than the 4.7k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
