The longest wait in this draw

28 had not appeared for 22 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 ≈1.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 1 plus Bonus Ball — 52,177 winners, 3% more than the 51k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
