The longest wait in this draw

27 had not appeared for 6 draws. A number waits about 7 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 ≈8.0M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Bonus — 1,010 winners, 3% fewer than the 1.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
