The longest wait in this draw

25 had not appeared for 16 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    The rings take the ≈10M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 20,405 winners, 4% fewer than the 21k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
