The longest wait in this draw

6 had not appeared for 14 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 ≈6.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 7,010 winners, 20% more than the 5.8k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
