The longest wait in this draw

39 had not appeared for 22 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 ≈4.8M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 + Bonus — 12,916 winners, 2% fewer than the 13k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
