The longest wait in this draw

20 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 ≈8.4M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,897 winners, 3% more than the 1.8k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
