The longest wait in this draw

8 had not appeared for 17 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 ≈278k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 542 winners, 8% more than the 501 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
