The longest wait in this draw

40 had not appeared for 33 draws. A number waits about 14 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

  • Winners, log scale
  • Prize each, log scale
  • Where chance put the count

The rings take the ≈5.6M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 8,072 winners, 13% fewer than the 9.3k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little less popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
