The longest wait in this draw

3 had not appeared for 16 draws. A number waits about 10 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 ≈529k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,824 winners, 8% fewer than the 2.0k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
