The longest wait in this draw

33 had not appeared for 8 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 ≈4.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 + Powerball — 1,019 winners, 9% more than the 935 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
