The longest wait in this draw

22 had not appeared for 23 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 ≈5.2k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 2 — 291 winners against 324 expected — a modest stretch for a count this size, the kind one tier in twenty shows.
