The longest wait in this draw

1 had not appeared for 15 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 ≈417k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_3_0_b — 1,612 winners, 3% more than the 1.6k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
