The longest wait in this draw

12 had not appeared for 13 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 ≈4.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 + Bonus — 12,691 winners, 6% more than the 12k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
