The longest wait in this draw

5 had not appeared for 32 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 ≈189k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: 0 + Star Ball xB — 5,377 winners, 95% fewer than the 100k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were noticeably less popular than average — a draw full of birthdays makes more small winners, a draw of high numbers fewer. That is the crowd, not the machine.
