The longest wait in this draw

30 had not appeared for 29 draws. A number waits about 8 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 ≈256k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 2,939 winners, 18% more than the 2.5k an even spread gives. The numbers drawn were a little more popular than average — that is the crowd, not the machine.
