The longest wait in this draw

37 had not appeared for 36 draws. A number waits about 8 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    The rings take the ≈630k lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 5,820 winners, 5% fewer than the 6.1k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
