The longest wait in this draw

43 had not appeared for 7 draws. A number waits about 10 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    The rings take the ≈386k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: match_1_1_b — 13,722 winners, 4% more than the 13k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
