The longest wait in this draw

26 had not appeared for 25 draws. A number waits about 7 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈279k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 562 winners, 12% more than the 502 an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
