The longest wait in this draw

15 had not appeared for 22 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 ≈1.3M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 4 — 627 winners, 7% more than the 589 an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
