The longest wait in this draw

15 had not appeared for 9 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 ≈4.5M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,061 winners, 6% more than the 996 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
